After an opening round at the Olympics in which she said she couldn't get into a rhythm, Stacy Lewis had everything working on Thursday in Rio. The 11-time LPGA Tour winner fired a second-round 63 to vault up the leader board and move into medal contention.

Unfortunately, her outfit had people thinking more about bronzer than bronze.

Lewis wore a tank top during her red-hot round, which showed off quite the golfer's tan.

Lewis' 63 matched the course record established last week in the men's event by Marcus Fraser in the first round and Matt Kuchar in the final round. Through two rounds, Lewis is one shot behind leader Inbee Park and one shot ahead of Brooke Henderson and Charley Hull. Fellow American Gerina Piller is tied for eighth, while Lexi Thompson is T-22 through 36 holes.

Afterward, Lewis was asked about her play -- as well as her not-so-subtle tan lines.

"I never wear sleeveless," a laughing Lewis said. "And I won't wear sleeveless again."

Well said, Stacy. However, if it ain't broke. . . nah, on second thought, sleeves are the way to go.
