Pittsford, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cristie Kerr shot a four-under 68 to earn a
share of the lead Thursday after the first round of the LPGA Championship, the

Playing in the afternoon, Kerr carded five birdies and one bogey on the Locust
Hill course to join early finishers Stacy Lewis and Seon Hwa Lee on top of the
leaderboard.
They shared a one-stroke lead over Lindsey Wright, Inbee Park and Mika
Miyazato.
Christina Kim, Teresa Lu and Louise Stahle were another stroke further back at
two-under 70.
Kerr was the only top-10 player in the world rankings to break par Thursday.
New world No. 1 Ai Miyazato, who captured her fourth win of the season last
week at the ShopRite LPGA Classic, opened with a four-over 76 and was tied for
97th place.
Defending champion Anna Nordqvist, the world No. 6 who was ranked 214th when
she won last year, opened with a one-over 73.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
