Denied spot in Paris by the Dutch Olympic committee, Dewi Weber leads the Portland Classic

Denied a spot in Paris because the Dutch Olympic committee didn't think she was good enough to contend, Dewi Weber shot a 10-under 62 on Friday to take the second-round lead in the Portland Classic. Weber qualified for the Olympics under International Golf Federation standards, but was left out because of the country's separate standards for all sports to meet a realistic chance of a top-eight finish. “We’re two rounds in, so we’ll see how this all unfolds and if I can really make a statement,” Weber said.
