(Reuters) - World number one Stacy Lewis lived up to her lofty status by playing "easy" golf on a difficult layout to take a one-shot lead in the U.S. Women's Open first round at Pinehurst in North Carolina on Thursday.

On a humid day at Pinehurst Resort where the temperature peaked at 96 degrees Fahrenheit (36 degrees Celsius), the 29-year-old American fired a flawless three-under-par 67 on the fabled No. 2 Course with its challenging turtle-back greens.
