First-round leader Ai Miyazato was another of the first round front runners still out on the course when TaylorMade Burner 2.0 Iron Set 4-PW, SW with Steel Shafts play was stopped, but she had slipped down the leaderboard on an unproductive day and had only picked up one shot through 13 holes to be sitting on 6-under-par.

Webb's round started tamely with five pars but her game then clicked into top gear and she ran off four consecutive birdies to reach the turn at 4-under.
