Stacy Lewis would like to take a decision out of U.S. Solheim Cup captain Juli Inkster’s hands.
Lewis would like to make the American team on points, rather than rely on a captain’s pick.
With a 6-under-par 65 Thursday at the Marathon Classic, Lewis took a step in that direction. She equaled her best score since rejoining the tour as a mom this year.
Lewis is one shot off the lead in suburban Toledo, where she’s embraced as a hometown favorite. She was born in Toledo, and her parents grew up there.
“It was awesome,” Lewis said of her round of seven birdies and a bogey.
