Somi Lee carded a 65 of 65 of 65 to take an advance at a blow in the Evian championship, the fourth of the five majors Tour LPGA of this season.
Lee, from South Korea, helped the ninth hole in 5 at the Evian Resort Golf Club in Evian-les-Bains, in France, to accompany six birdies and two Bogeys to reach 10 sous the total.
Lee comes from his first LPGA tour victory at the team of the Dow Championship team last month with Jin Hee IM.
“I think that, first of all, this course is so beautiful, but you know, green is so delicate, so I’m just (practicing) the distance,” said Lee. “I’m just (concentrated) on the distance. Miss on the left, Mademoiselle on the right, too bad. Distance – is it perfect.”
Grace Kim, Australia, one of the five co-leaders of the first round, is second in 7 to 9 years after shooting a 68 on Friday. The American Jennifer Kupcho is third at 8 under after 69 events which included seven birdies and five Bogeys.
“I did a lot of putts and putting well,” said Kupcho. “I think it’s just a bit rolling, seeing the lines well. I feel like I am enough of times so that I start learning the Greens a little, so it helps.”
Hye-Jin Choi (68) from South Korea, Casandra Alexander (68) from South Africa (68) and American Andrea Lee (70) are tied in fourth row.
“It was a bit difficult.” But I think I did something great from not having a situation.
The world No. 2 Jeeno Thitikul is equal to the seventh after a second consecutive round of 68.
N ° 1 World Nelly Korda in the United States is part of a group equal to the 12th to 5 sous. Her 70 in the second round included a double bogey in the 16th hole in 3 and an eagle in the 18th by 5, where she put on a broken putt at around 30 feet.
Lottie a high-level amateur, Woad d’Angleterre is equal with Korda after a 2-mes of 69.
“There have been a few pins hidden today and I struck it very well in recent days,” said Woad. “Maybe could have enclosed a few more putts, but if I can resolve this weekend, if I can continue to hit him well, it will be good.”
The reigning champion Ayaka Furue of Japan is tied to the 26th to 3 sous.
Among those who are missing the cup with 2 sur-parameters were the American female champion Maja Stark, the world number 3 Lydia Ko and the n ° 4 Ruoning Yin.
