Australian golf ace Grace Kim has hung tough to remain firmly in the mix at the halfway mark of the opening event of the LPGA Tour's all-important Asian swing.
On a gusting day of rough scoring, an even-par 72 was enough to propel Kim from a tie for third after round one into equal second at four under through 36 holes at the Buick LPGA Shanghai.
The 2025 Evian Championship winner even slashed the deficit in half from four shots to just two entering the weekend.
