Yu Jin Sung, Natthakritta Vongtaveelap lead the LPGA’s Lotte Championship in Hawaii after two rounds

After two rounds of the LPGA’s Lotte Championship at Hoakalei Country Club in Ewa Beach, Oahu, Hawaii, Yu Jin Sung and Natthakritta Vongtaveelap are tied for the lead at 8 under.

Sung has opened her week with back-to-back 68s while Vongtaveelap followed up her Thursday 66 with a Friday 70.

Georgia Hall, who is ranked second in the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings, is tied for third alongside Linnea Storm. Hall couldn’t get much going on Thursday, opening the Lotte Championship with a 1-under 71. She played nicely on Day 2, however, signing for a 6-under 66.

Christina Kim, Grace Kim and Nasa Hataoka are tied for fifth at 6 under while Lauren Hartlage is 5 under and in solo eighth. Siyun Liu and Pernilla Lindberg round out the top 10 at 4 under, T-9.

Frida Kinhult, who held the 18-hole lead, shot a second-round 4-over 76 and is tied for 18th.

The tournament concludes Saturday. The first LPGA major of 2023 starts next Thursday outside Houston at the Chevon Championship.
