Pak, Thompson snatch 1-stroke Kraft Nabisco lead
Print Edition
AMERICAN teenager Lexi Thompson fired eight birdies in a sparkling 8-under-par 64 on Friday to grab a share of the LPGA Kraft Nabisco Championship lead alongside Hall-of-Famer Pak Se-ri of South Korea.
Thompson’s effort in perfect morning conditions at Mission Hills in Rancho Mirage, California, gave her a 7-under total of 137. She was joined atop the leaderboard at the halfway stage of the first women’s major of the year by Pak, who had two birdies in a steady 2-under 70.
The two were one stroke in front of American Michelle Wie, who had two birdies and one bogey in her 71 for 138.
First-round leader Feng Shanshan of China was tied for the lead after a birdie at the par-4 seventh, her 16th hole of the day. But she closed with back-to-back bogeys for a 1-over 73 that left her tied for fourth with Cristie Kerr (70) on 139.
Feng, whose 2012 LPGA Championship victory made her the first Chinese golfer to claim a major title, finished with four bogeys and three birdies.
