For the second consecutive week, Stacy Lewis heads into the weekend as the player to beat after the American fired a six-under 66 to take control of the HSBC Women’s Champions in Singapore.
She was in a similar position last week in Thailand but faltered and finished joint third. With the season barely three weeks old, it was an important lesson, said the 28-year-old, who is on 11-under 133 and holds a two stroke lead over six players tied on 135.
“Any time you come into the season, there’s unknowns of how your game is going to come out and how you’re going to play. It was the first time this year that I was under pressure with the lead and you just never know how your body is going to react even though you’ve been there before,” said the winner of the 2012 Player of the Year award.
