    The Stanford International Pro-Am features two rookies among its leaders. Both Momoko Ueda from Japan and Yani Tseng from Taiwan shot opening round 68s, one stroke off first round leader Young Kim. They weren’t the only rookies to shoot under 70 yesterday. Carolina Llano and Hee Young Park shot rounds of 69.

Nine events into the LPGA season, Na-Yeon Choi leads Yani Tseng by 37 points in the Rolex Rookie of the Year standings. Louise Friberg, another rookie, won last month’s Mastercard Classic.
