RIO DE JANEIRO — Stacy Lewis made 11 birdies and was near the top the leaderboard in women's golf after an 8-under 63 at Olympic Golf Course.
Lewis made so many birdies she lost count. She wasn't aware of her score until she signed her card. The American was at 9-under 133 after two rounds and had a one-shot lead over Britain's Charley Hull and Canada's Brooke Henderson. South Korea's Inbee Park later shot a 5-under 66, giving her a two-day total of 10-under 132.
Marcus Fraser had a 63 last week in the opening round for the men.
Lewis, however, had a double bogey in her round when she three-putted the 14th from 25 feet. That made her determined to get the shots back, and she did just that by closing with four birdies. On the final hole, a tee shot in the face of a bunker left her 199 yards away for her third shot. She hit a hybrid to 4 feet for a surprise birdie.
