Lee leads LPGA Meijer Classic by 2

LOS ANGELES — Alison Lee fired a seven-under-par 65 to take a two-shot lead after the first round of the LPGA Tour's Meijer Classic on Thursday (Friday in Manila).

The 29-year-old from California relied on a red-hot putter and a steadily improving swing to reel off seven birdies and an eagle to pull clear of a crowded leaderboard.
