LEE BO-MEE LEADS BY FOUR IN MIZUN0 CLASSIC
SHIMA, Japan (AP) South Korea's Lee
Bo-mee shot an 8-under 64 today to take a four-stroke lead after
two rounds of the Mizuno Classic.
Lee, a regular on the South Korean tour, had
four birdies on the front nine at Kintetsu Kashikojima Country Club and
added four more after the turn to finish at 10-under 134.
"My drives were good today, I was able
to keep them on the fairway which was tough with this wind," Lee said.
"If I can keep driving and putting like this I feel good about my
chances tomorrow."
Rikako Morita of Japan, who briefly
held the lead after an eagle on the par-5 13th, bogeyed three of the
final five holes and was in second after a 68. Morita hit a 195-yard
second shot to 10 feet and then made the eagle put on 13 but couldn't
keep the momentum going when she bogeyed the par-4 14th.
"I hooked my iron on 14 and couldn't
recover," Morita said. "The bogeys caused me to fall back a few strokes
but hopefully I can make them back tomorrow."
Angela Stanford of the United States
shot a 71 and was tied for third at 4-under 140 with South Korea's Na
Yeon Choi, France's Karine Icher and overnight co-leader Ayako Uehara of
Japan.
South Korea's Jiyai Shin, who shared
the first-round lead, shot a 73 and was tied for eighth at 141 with a
group of eight golfers that included defending champion Momoko Ueda of
Japan, who shot a 69, American Stacy Lewis and Taiwanese star Yani
Tseng, who both shot 70.
South Korea's Inbee Park, who opened
the LPGA Tour's Asian swing with a victory in Malaysia and finished
second last week in Taiwan, struggled with the wind and shot a 73 to be
tied for 23rd at 143.
