England’s Hewson storms into halfway lead at the Aramco Saudi Ladies International
JEDDAH — England’s Alice Hewson stormed to an eight-under-par 64 to lead at the halfway point of the Aramco Saudi Ladies International presented by PIF.The 24-year-old carded six birdies on the back nine to come home in 30, a scintillating return that shaved three strokes off her career best Ladies European Tour round and put her top of the pile with two rounds remaining in King Abdullah Economic City.Hertfordshire-born Hewson said: “I really enjoyed my day today. It didn’t really feel like a 64. I just played every shot as it came and I putted really well. I think I only had 22 putts, so that really helps on these greens.“I didn’t really put too much pressure on myself. I didn’t drive the best.
