SYLVANIA, Ohio (AP) — A confident Na Yeon Choi (NAH YUHN CHOY) followed her opening 64 with a 4-under 67 to build a two-stroke lead through Friday’s second round of the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic.
Second on the LPGA Tour in birdies, Choi had four of them without a bogey. The first-round leader by a stroke, she is motivated by missing a cut for the first time as a pro last week at the LPGA Championship.
Fellow South Korean Inbee Park shot a 66, Christina Kim had a 67 and Alena Sharp a 68 to share second place at 9-under 133.
Kristy McPherson holed a 60-degree wedge from 75 yards on the 18th hole for an eagle to lead a pack of six players at 136.
Defending champ Eunjung Yi (YOON JUNG EE) had a 68 and was eight shots back, while 2008 winner Paula Creamer missed the cut.
