AFTER RETURNING A 77

Janice Moodie was disqualified after returning a four-over-par score of 77 in the first round of the Fields Open, this week's LPGA Tour event at Ko Olina Golf Club, Kapolei on Hawaii.

The Glasgow-born player, pictured right, had halves of 37 and 40, finishing with a double-bogey 6 at the 18th.

It was not immediately clear why the Scot had been disqualified.

Laura Davies was the leading British player with a 73 (37-36).

Mhairi McKay returned a 75 (37-38).

The lead was shared by rookie Angela Park and Stacy Prammanasudh on six-under-par 66.
