Seven-time major winner Karrie Webb had eight birdies and two bogeys for an opening-round 6-under 66 and was in a six-way tie for the lead Thursday at the Australian Ladies Masters.
Webb mixed three birdies with two bogeys on her front nine but came in with five more birdies. She's atop the leaderboard with Australian compatriot Karen Lunn, 2009 U.S. Women's Open champion Ji Eun Hee of South Korea, Cassandra Kirkland of France, Maria Hernandez of Spain and Diana Luna of Italy.
Yani Tseng of Taiwan, ranked No. 2 in the world after winning last week's Australian Women's Open, was among a group of seven players a stroke back at 5 under at Royal Pines.

Conditions were perfect for low scoring Thursday, with light winds, but Webb had an inconsistent start.
