Top-ranked Inbee Park birdied her final three holes Thursday for a 6-under 66 and a share of the JTBC Founders Cup lead among the early starters. Coming off a victory two weeks ago in China in a Ladies European Tour event, Park closed with a tap-in birdie on the par-4 ninth after nearly holing a pitching wedge from 134 yards at Desert Ridge's Wildfire Golf Club. ''It was a very solid round,'' Park said. ''Very good irons today.'' Morgan Pressel was 7 under after eight holes in her afternoon round in perfect conditions with the temperature in the low 80s.
