By Andrew BothOLYMPIA FIELDS, Illinois (Reuters) - Amy Yang had a share of the lead with fellow South Korean Chella Choi when threatening weather halted the first round at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship on Thursday. Yang, twice a major runner-up at the U.S. Women's Open, bogeyed the 17th hole to fall back to five-under and surrender the sole lead moments before lightning prompted the late afternoon suspension. Co-leader Choi was particularly pleased with her score after only one practice round, leaning heavily on her father-caddie Ji for advice. "I played just 18 holes before the tournament, so I don't remember every hole," said Choi, winner of one LPGA event. "Of course, I would love to do it again but it's a different golf course and a different year," she said.
