Stacy Lewis put herself in early position Friday to claim her 12th LPGA title, her first in nearly two years.
Lewis opened the ShopRite LPGA Classic with a bogey-free 5-under-par 66, good for a tie for third when she signed her scorecard, just two shots behind the leader, Anna Nordqvist.
“I think that’s the best first round I’ve had all year,” Lewis said.
In fact, it was Lewis’ best opening round this season by four shots. It marks the first time she has opened with a round in the 60s this year.
