MORELIA, Mexico (AP) --- Ai Miyazato is trying to spoil Lorena Ochoa's going-away party.
Miyazato, who won the first two events of this year's LPGA Tour season, shot a 10-under 63, the best round of her career in relation to par, to take the first-round lead Thursday in the Tres Marias Championship.
Azahara Munoz opened with a 65, and the top-ranked Ochoa, who will retire after the tournament, matched Michelle Wie with a 66.

Michelle Wie watches her shot off the 10th tee during Thursday’s first round of the Tres Marias Championship.
Wie, a Punahou School graduate, and Ochoa both started at the par-5 10th hole and began their rounds with eagles. The scores were low with little wind and favorable flag placements.
''There are a lot of birdies and eagles out there,'' said Wie, who picked up her only LPGA victory last season in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational. ''It's a constant grind to keep making birdies, and even if you are making birdies you're not really above anyone else.''
Wie played the five par-5 holes at 5 under.

Miyazato had 10 birdies in her bogey-free round.
''I'm never seen somebody with so much control in her game,'' Ochoa said. ''It doesn't matter if she hits long, short, or low or high.''
Ochoa asked to be grouped with Miyazato and former University of Arizona teammate Natalie Gulbis in the first two rounds. Ochoa grew up in junior golf with Gulbis and called Miyazato ''the nicest girl on the tour.''
''I have played with her so many times since I have been on the tour, but today was really special,'' said Miyazato, who needed only 22 putts on Thursday.
Ochoa, who finished at 25 under last year to win the event for the second straight year and third time in four seasons, said she tried to play the round like any other.
''I woke up in the morning and told myself: 'We're here, this is the last tournament, let's enjoy the moment,' '' she said.
Munoz was 6 under on the par-5 holes. The LPGA rookie is playing only her second tour event, though she won the 2009 British Women's Amateur Championship and was the NCAA individual champion in 2008 at Arizona State.
