Evian-les-Bains, France (26^th July 2012) - Stacy Lewis of the United States was all smiles after shooting a course-record equalling nine under par 63 on Thursday to take a two stroke lead after the first round of the Evian Masters presented by Société Générale.

Playing in stifling heat, the 27-year-old from Texas reeled off seven birdies in a row from the fifth and picked up two closing birdies at the17th and 18th at Evian Masters Golf Course in Evian-les-Bains, France, to tie the course record set by Helen Alfredsson in the second round of the 2008 tournament, which the Swede went on to win.

Masson closed with a bogey-free 70 to win on one-under-par 215, one stroke clear of South Africa’s Lee-Anne Pace and England’s Danielle Montgomery.
“I’m so happy. It was such a tough day with the wind,” Masson said of a round which was in doubt because of the gale force winds that battered the Selborne Park Golf Club from the early morning.
