WORLD No. 1 Park In-bee, chasing her third major title of the year, remained ahead by two strokes after yesterday's completion of the fog-halted second round of the US Women's Open in Southampton, New York.
The South Korean superstar fired a 4-under-par 72 on Friday to stand on 9-under 135 for a two-stroke lead over compatriot IK Kim, who fired a 69 that included five birdies and two bogeys.
England's Jodi Ewart Shadoff stood third on 139 after finishing her second round yesterday morning with two pars and a birdie at the par-5 18th hole at Sebonack Golf Club to conclude a round of 69.
American Lizette Salas carded a 72 on Friday to stand on 140, one stroke ahead of compatriots Jessica Korda and Angela Stanford. France's Karine Icher, Swede Anna Nordqvist and Ryu So-yeon of South Korea were on 142.
"I think we got very lucky that we finished today," Park said on Friday after capping her round with the last of her six birdies at the par-5 18th.
Park, whose five titles in 2013 include major triumphs at the Kraft Nabisco Championship and the LPGA Championship, opened her round with a birdie at the first. She had two bogeys and two more birdies in her outward run, then gathered steam on the back nine. At the 13th, she hit a wedge over the green but made a 20-footer for birdie. At 15 she landed a sand wedge within a foot before draining a 12-footer at the last.
