VANCOUVER - The biggest challenge Japan's Yuka Saso faced at the CPKC Women's Open were the bugs at Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club.

Saso fired a 6-under 66 in the morning wave on Thursday in the first round of the 好色tv women's golf championship, for a three-stroke clubhouse lead. The course played tougher in the afternoon with Sweden's Linn Grant shooting a 5-under 67 to sit alone in second.
