Hull and Woad in major mix as Thitikul races into early lead

Jeeno Thitikul raced into the early lead after the opening round of the AIG Women's Open, as Charley Hull made a mixed start to her bid for an elusive major victory.

Thitikul carded seven birdies in a brilliant bogey-free 64 at Royal Lytham & St Annes, giving the world No 2 a two-shot advantage over two-time major winner Haeran Ryu and Shiho Kuwaki.
