Kim goes one clear at Pelican Championship
AFP, Miami :
Kim Sei-young fired a five-under-par 65 to take a one-shot lead at the halfway stage of the LPGA Tour’s Pelican Women’s Championship in Florida on Friday.
The 27-year-old world number two from South Korea produced a bogey-free round at the Pelican Golf Club layout, notching five birdies and 13 pars to head into the weekend on eight under for the tournament.
Kim, brimming with confidence after her maiden major triumph at the Women’s PGA Championship last month, was in the groove from the first tee, bagging back-to-back birdies on the opening two holes.
Another pair of birdies on the sixth and seventh holes took her to seven under at the turn before her fifth and final birdie of the day on the 14th hole.
Ally McDonald of the United States is one behind Kim in second place after shooting a four-under-par 66.
