(Reuters) - South Korea's Lee Mi-rim birdied five of her last seven holes to cap an "easy day" and surge into an early three-stroke lead in Thursday's opening round of the U.S. Women's Open in San Martin, California.
Taking advantage of ideal scoring conditions at sun-splashed CordeValle Golf Club, the 25-year-old fired an eight-under-par 64 to match the second-best U.S. Women's Open score ever in the third of the year's five women's major championships.
