A sublime display of ball striking has thrust Minjee Lee firmly into the mix at the halfway point of women's golf's biggest event of the year thus far.
A brilliant front nine propelled Lee to a second-round three-under-par 69 to leave Australia's two time major winner just three strokes off the pace at the Chevron Championship in Texas.
After dropping a shot on the final hole of her incomplete first-round 71 on Friday (Saturday AEST), Lee rebounded with four birdies before the turn to storm into contention at the season's first major.
