US Women's Open: Mirim Lee Holds One Stroke Lead In Round 2 (play in-progress)

When Mirim Lee from South Korea walked off the course following her record-tying round, she described her day with words usually not heard when talking about the U.S. Women's Open. ''So today's round was easy day - easy round, yeah,'' Lee said. She sure made it look that way when she became the fifth golfer to shoot a round of 8-under par at the U.S. Women's Open on Thursday, making 10 birdies on the way to a 64 to take the early lead at CordeValle. With the greens not quite as firm as they likely will be later in the week and the wind not playing a major factor, there were low scores to be had throughout the field - at least for the opening morning of the tournament. ''I definitely expect it to change,'' said Christie Kerr, who was three shots behind Lee in a tie for second. ''I don't think the USGA likes when we shoot 8-under on their golf course. You have to expect it to change, and if it doesn't, then you'll have opportunities to score.'' Lee is the first woman to shoot that much below par at the U.S. Open since.
