Thai maintains Safeway lead
Print Edition
Thailand’s Pornanong Phatlum fired a 6-under-par 66 on Friday to maintain a one-stroke lead at the halfway stage of the LPGA Safeway Classic in Portland, Oregon.
Pornanong’s two-day total of 14-under 130 broke the previous 36-hole tournament record at the Columbia Edgewater Country Club and left her one stroke in front of Norway’s Suzann Pettersen, who carded a 9-under 63 for 131.
Pettersen jumped from a tie for 20th to second place, one shot in front of Germany’s Sandra Gal who notched her second straight 66. German rookie Caroline Masson was alone in fourth on 133 after a second-round 64.
Pornanong, who won the unofficial HSBC Brasil Cup last year, holds the 36-hole lead for the first time as she seeks her first official win in five years on the LPGA Tour.
The 23-year-old had six birdies without a bogey.
“I played this good before, but this is the first tournament that I felt really good and really confident, so I’ve played really good, better than I have done before,” she said. “I’m more confident and everything is better than I have before.”
