In her third year on tour, Lauren Stephenson finding comfort and good results

Lauren Stephenson is starting to feel what it’s like to be at the top. In the last six weeks, Stephenson has carded two top-10s, one at the Pure Silk Championship and the other at the Meijer Classic. On Thursday at the Marathon LPGA Classic, Stephenson shot a bogey-free 65 despite not touching a club for eight days. She currently sits four strokes behind Day 1 leader Nasa Hataoka, who shot a bogey-free 61.

“I was actually supposed to have a lesson and after KPMG, my dad was like, I think you just need eight days [off],” said Stephenson, who tied for 40th at the Women’s PGA.
