AMERICAN Amanda Blumenherst shot a three-under-par 69 yesterday to maintain a share of the lead with Lim Ji-na of South Korea after two rounds of the Australian Ladies Masters in Gold Coast.
First-round leader Blumenherst and Lim (66) had two-round totals of nine-under 135.
Australia trio Katherine Hull (70), six-time former champion Karrie Webb (69) and Tamie Durdin (68) were tied for third, two strokes back, along with South Koreans Ryu So-yeon (67) and Seo Hee-kyung (68).
Blumenherst, Hull, Webb and Durdin played most of their afternoon rounds in steady rain at Royal Pines. Up to 200 millimeters of rain hit the course earlier in the week.
When she finished her round, Blumenherst was shown on the tournament's computer leaderboard as trailing Lim by a stroke. But her score on the par-four second hole was incorrectly recorded as a bogey instead of a par four.
It was the first time the former amateur star from Duke University had led a pro tournament after the second round, and she'll do it again today in the last group.
"I was very proud of myself," Blumenherst said. "I was nervous of course, but I handled it very well, I played my game, and I'm putting really well."
Blumenherst's group was put on the clock with two holes left, caused mostly by a ruling needed by another player in the threesome early in the round. As a result, they had fallen two holes behind the group in front.
Lim birdied three of the four par-five holes and two par-threes in a bogey-free round. Lim will attempt to qualify for the LPGA Tour next year after playing another full season on the Korean tour, where she finished eighth on the money list.
