RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) – Stacy Lewis made 11 birdies on Thursday to match the low score at Olympic Golf Course with an 8-under 63, putting her right in the mix for a gold medal in women’s golf.
As well as a low score, Lewis had red shoulders by the end of a sunny day. She always wears short sleeves, but her Team USA uniform didn’t fit.
Her only option was to go with the sleeveless version, which showed off shoulders that never get any sun.
She still had a patriotic look, walking to the first tee with a blue shirt and white shoulders that turned red by the end of a sunny day.
The American had no complaints about her golf or her position at the halfway point of the first Olympic women’s golf competition since 1900. Lewis was one shot behind Inbee Park of South Korea, who birdied her last two holes for another 5-under 66 and the 36-hole lead.
