BEIJING — Top-ranked Stacy Lewis birdied the final hole Friday for a 5-under 68 and a two-stroke lead over fellow Texan Brittany Lang after the second round of the Reignwood LPGA Classic.

“It was a day that I just had to stay patient,” Lewis said. “Even coming in, I could have made a few more birdies. Didn’t quite hit the shots around the greens that I needed to.”

Lewis had a 12-under 134 at Reignwood Pine Valley.

She holed some timely putts.

“Putts that kept the round going,” Lewis said.
