COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Stacy Lewis made it through 29 holes Friday on the Broadmoor mountain course before Colorado’s typical summer thunderstorms hit. She walked off at 4 under par, with a one-shot lead over I.K. Kim and Ryann O’Toole in the second round of the U.S. Women’s Open.

Lewis shot 3-under 68 in the first round, then after a quick stop for lunch, played the first 11 holes of the second round in 1 under.

With the black clouds moving in and the wind gusting, she wasn’t all that crestfallen to hear the siren sound.

“Part of me is definitely glad we stopped,” she said. “My legs were getting a little heavy there.”

There is never anything easy about winning a U.S. Open, and hitting good golf shots for 72 holes across the hilly Broadmoor, elevation 6,700 feet, makes it that much tougher, even under a normal schedule.

But this week’s schedule will be anything but normal.

Play was suspended Thursday with 131 players still on the course or still waiting to hit their first shots. That set it up for Lewis and dozens more to play — or at least try to play — 36 on Friday. They finished their first rounds, ate lunch and headed back out to the course.

“I walked back out here and the food hadn’t kicked in and I was really dragging,” said O’Toole. “Once it kicked in, I was fine. We played 28 holes today. I can’t really complain. This gives us some rest.”

Nobody had finished the second round when the weather hit Friday, meaning the weekend will be a long one and a Monday finish is possible. 

PGA: Chez Reavie shot a 9-under 62 to claim a two-stroke lead after two rounds of the John Deere Classic at Silvis, Ill.

Reavie found the greens at TPC Deere Run to his liking while making an eagle and a succession of birdie putts, going 8 under during one nine-hole stretch. He went into the weekend at 14-under 128 in search of his first victory since the 2008 Canadian Open.

Steve Stricker shot a 64 to finish at 12 under in his bid for a third straight victory in the tournament.

Steve Marino (66) also was 12 under. Jhonattan Vegas (64), Mark Wilson (67), Brendon de Jonge (66) and Kyle Stanley (67) were four off the lead.

EUROPEAN TOUR: Storms brought an early end to the second round at the Scottish Open at Inverness with former U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell tied for the lead with Scott Jamieson and Peter Whiteford of Scotland at 11-under 133.

McDowell had an 8-under 64, and Jamieson and Whiteford shot 66s.

Phil Mickelson shot a 67 and was seven strokes behind the leaders.
