Lewis loses lead at U.S. Women's Open

When the rain stopped, Stacy Lewis got off a school bus wondering whether she was in the U.S. Open or the twilight zone.

By the time the strange ordeal was over yesterday, she had lost her lead and was barely hanging onto her cool.

Lewis made a bogey and double-bogey shortly after a 66-minute rain delay and the lead she held through almost the entire marathon day at the U.S. Women's Open turned into a two-shot deficit to I.K. Kim.

Kim was at 4-under par with four holes to play when the second round was suspended by darkness. Lewis, who had led by as many as four shots earlier in the day, was tied for second with Wendy Ward at 2-under with two holes left.

"We sat in a school bus," Lewis said of the way she spent the thunderstorm delay. "It was 20 people in a little school bus. There was no place to go, you couldn't do anything, it was hard to get loose again. Just kind of unfortunate - unfortunate the way it all worked out, I guess."

Only 33 of the 156 players made it through their second round yesterday at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colo., and 66 never made it to their tee time.

Among those were amateur Amy Anderson, who is in the three-way tie for second at 2-under.
