Surprise package Lewis takes charge at Interlachen

EDINA, Minnesota: Just 19 days after turning professional, American Stacy Lewis stole the limelight from the game's best players by grabbing a one-shot lead in the US Women's Open third round on Saturday.

Rolling the ball beautifully on the difficult, sloping greens at Interlachen Country Club, Lewis fired a flawless 6-under-par 67 to take control of the third women's major of the year.

The 23-year-old, who earlier this month led the US amateurs to Curtis Cup victory over Britain & Ireland, sank a curling seven-footer to birdie the last for a 9-under total of 210.
