GOLF Lewis, Hur share LPGA lead in Alabama By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Sep. 18, 2014 @ 6:01 pm Updated Sep 18, 2014 at 6:12 PM By The Associated Press Posted Sep. 18, 2014 @ 6:01 pm Updated Sep 18, 2014 at 6:12 PM » Social News PRATTVILLE, Ala. — Top-ranked Stacy Lewis birdied the last three holes and five of the final six Thursday for an 8-under 64 and a share of the lead with Mi Jung Hur in the Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic. Lewis, the 2012 winner in the event that was dropped from the schedule last year after losing its title sponsor, had a bogey-free round on The Senator course. She has a tour-high three victories this season. "I grew up playing on Bermuda grass, which I think that helps a lot, you know, just reading greens and understanding the different types of lies, but it feels like home," said Lewis, the former University of Arkansas star from Texas. "The heat, the humidity, I'm used to it." Lewis tied for 16th last week in France in the Evian Championship in the final major of the year. "I played really solid last week and that golf course was just a little goofy and the scores just didn't really show how I played," Lewis said. "So I felt like things were coming along and getting closer and it showed out there. I hit my wedges a lot better, which is always a good sign for me. When my wedges get back on track that usually gets the entire swing back going in the right direction." Hur also had a bogey-free round. The South Korean player won her lone LPGA Tour title in 2009. "It was awesome with bogey-free," Hur said. "That was my goal for today and I make it. My shot was really working good and also my putter was very good, so everything was perfect." South Africa's Paula Reto had a 65, and Cydney Clanton was another stroke back along with Sweden's Karin Sjodin and Japan's Ayako Uehara. Hur tied for third in the 2012 event. "I feel pretty much good with this course," Hur said. She's coming off a tie for ninth in Portland, Oregon, and a tied for third in France. "I feel so much comfortable after I did the top 10 in Portland," Hur said. "I think my confidence, it made me feel better and better. Also my putting doing really great." Former University of Alabama star Stephanie Meadow shot 68. She played alongside fellow former Crimson Tide players Jenny Suh and Kathleen Ekey. "It was fun," said Meadow, from Northern Ireland. "I mean, it's not every day you hear Roll Tide for all of us, so it was really something special and I think it's really cool we got to do it." Suh and Ekey shot 71. Lexi Thompson, the 2011 winner at age 16, opened with a 70. WEB.COM TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP: At Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., Ashland native Jason Allred shot a 2-over-par 74 and is tied for 74th place after the first round of the last event of the Tour Finals. Allred, who started on the back nine, made three bogeys and a birdie. Zac Blair matched the course record with a 7-under 63 to take the lead. Blair, a 24-year-old former BYU player who needs to earn about $40,000 this week to earn a PGA Tour card, had a bogey-free round on TPC Sawgrass' Dye's Valley Course. Blair missed the cuts in the first three events in the series limited to the top 75 players from the Web.com Tour money list and Nos. 126-200 in the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup standings. The top 25 on the Web.com money list have earned PGA Tour cards. They are competing against each other for PGA Tour priority, with regular-season earnings counting in their totals. The other players are fighting for another 25 cards based on their earnings in the series. Scott Pinckney, Derek Fathauer, Sung Joon Park, Bronson La'Cassie and Chad Collins were tied for second at 65.
