Venezuela's Veronica Felibert shot a career-best 6-under 65 on Friday to take the first-round lead in the LPGA Tour's NW Arkansas Championship.
Felibert, who made the field as the second alternate, had seven birdies and needed only 27 putts at Pinnacle Country Club. The round came after she missed the cuts in her previous three tournaments, and one week after switching to a new putter.
China's Shanshan Feng, the LPGA Championship winner this month, was a stroke back.
Top-ranked Yani Tseng, the two-time defending champion, opened with a 2-over 73, her fifth straight round over par. No. 2 Stacy Lewis had a 70.
