After two rounds, Hyo Joo Kim leads the LOTTE Championship by three strokes. The Korean returns two cards of 67 (-5), and still hasn't signed a bogey on her cards. This performance is due to a putting in shape with an average of 26 putts per round.
Her first pursuer, Sarah Kemp, points to a score of -7 with two cards of 68 (-4) and 69 (-3). The podium is completed by Ariya Jugunugarn (Thailand) and Haeji Kang (South Korea) at -6.

The scores of our French women, outdistanced by the leader
Perrine Delacour ranks first in France, in 25th place at -1. She signs a card in the PAR during her second round with three birdies for as many bogeys. She therefore points to nine shots from Hyo Joo Kim.
Céline Boutier, French number 1, ranks 39th with a total of +1. She returns a 74 (+2) card with a difficult endgame. Leaving from tee 10, she finished her game with bogey 5 and 6, double on 7 then a new bogey on 9, a score of +5 on her last five holes.
The Cut was made at +3.
Céline Herbin unfortunately does not pass the Cut by one shot. His tournament ended cruelly following two bogeys on his last three holes. She returns a 75 (+3) card on her second turn, for a total score of +4.
Agathe Laisné points to +6, with two cards of 74 (+2) and 76 (+4).
Pauline Roussin-Bouchard also does not pass the Cut. Her first day in +8, placed her far from the Cut, and despite four birdies in the second round, she committed two consecutive double bogeys on holes 7 and 8. She returned a card in the PAR of 72, for a total of +8.
After back-to-back 67s, Hyo Joo Kim holds the solo lead heading into moving day 🔥
