Hannah Green has stayed cool in steamy conditions to remain in the hunt at the halfway point of the LPGA Tour's Maybank Championship in Malaysia.
Green battled an unco-operative driver and intense tropical heat to grind out a two-under-par 70 on Friday to be tied for third after the second round of the inaugural $US3 million event.
Thailand's Jasmine Suwannapura recovered from two early bogeys with five birdies in her last 12 holes to retain the outright lead at 12 under with a fighting 69.
