 The American, ranked third in the world, bogeyed the second,
fourth, fifth and sixth to slip one shot behind playing partner,
South Korea's Amy Yang, after starting the day three strokes in
front.
But Lewis got herself back to the top of the leaderboard with an
eagle on the 15th for a round of 73, finishing at 13-under on a hot
and humid day at the Siam Country Club in Chonburi.
"That's pretty much the only good thing that came out of today,"
Lewis said. "I was a bit all over the place. I played six really bad
holes to start the day but then got things going."
Yang signed for a 71 to end the round one shot behind Lewis at
12-under while Germany's Sandra Gal carded a 68, matching the low
round of the day, to climb into third place at 11-under.
"I was kind of in the zone and just really playing one shot at a
time," said Gal who played the tricky last five holes in minus
three.
"It was good to finish strong in this humidity and this hot weather
where it's really tough to stay focused and fresh especially during
the end of the round."
