Lewis, Thompson tied in Bahamas
Stacy Lewis had two back-nine eagles in the LPGA Tour’s seasonopening Pure Silk Bahamas Classic to again put herself in position to end a long winless streak.
Lewis shot a 10-under-par 63 at Ocean Club to match fellow American Lexi Thompson atop the leaderboard at 23-under 196, one off the tour 54-hole record for relation to par set by Annika Sorenstam in Japan in the 2003 Mizuno Classic.
Lewis was second in the event in 2014 and tied for second last year, one of her 11 runner-up finishes since her last victory in June 2014. She has 11 tour victories, including two majors.
Lewis holed out from the fairway for eagle on the par-five 11th and made a 12-foot eagle putt on the par-five 18th. She had four birdies on the front nine.
Thompson followed her tournament-record 61 on Friday with a 66.

Javier Fernandez won his fifth straight European figure skating championship even with a fall at Ostrava, Czech Republic.
Holding an almost 10-point lead after the short program, the Spaniard opened the free skate with a perfect quad toe loop, but landed a quad salchow shakily, and fell in an attempt to nail another quad salchow.
“Everything in my body hurts right now,” Fernandez said. “Everything hurts so bad.”
Even so, he ended up winning the free skate, extending his lead, and finishing more than 28 points ahead of second-place Maxim Kovtun of Russia.
