In Gee Chun, already victorious in the US Open 2015, continues to print her rhythm remaining at the head of the leaderboard at the end of the second round of the Evian Championship, 5th and last major of the season. The 22-year-old South Korean, alone in the lead after 36 holes is at the top of the standings at (-13), after six birdies and a bogey and a card of 66, she is ahead of the Chinese Olympic medalist Shanshan Feng as well as Sung Hyun Park two shots. Korean So Yeon Ryu is fourth at (-10) while American Angela Stanford is behind them with four strokes, placing her in fifth position.

After a stunning 63 Friday, Chun tied the records for double major champions Brittany Lincicome and Ryu. Chun, who is trying to add another major title to her track record, says she feels comfortable at the top of the leaderboard.

Feng, who took three weeks off after the Rio Olympics, said he had some fatigue that set in on his last nine holes.

“I started to feel a bit tired on the last nine holes today. It must be said that the ground is wet. But I'll have a lot of time to recover before I leave on Saturday. My results at the Evian Championship have been pretty good so far, I did well during these first two laps, you just need to continue in the same way. »

Park, the 22-year-old Korean, was solid the first two days, but said the Evian Resort Golf Course isn't exactly for her.

“There's no easy shot here,” said Park. “Tee shots, putting, second shot, everything, it gave me a headache. »

As a member of the LPGA, Park is making her fourth major appearance this season, she has already achieved two top-6s: T6 at the ANA Inspiration and T3 at the US Women's Open.

Defending champion Lydia Ko made her way through the rankings on Friday with (-3) on a 68 card and is currently in 13th position nine shots from the head (-4).
