Park On Verge of History, Holds 36-Hole Lead at CME
On Thursday night at the gala Rolex LPGA Awards, Sung Hyun Park claimed the only 2017 honor that’s been decided – Rolex Rookie of the Year.
On Friday the 24-year-old South Korean took a big step toward securing all the other major titles as she climbed to the top of the leaderboard at the CME Group Tour Championship.
With a second round 65 at the Tiburón Golf Club, Park finished 36 holes at 12-under-par 132, three strokes ahead of Caroline Masson and Sarah Jane Smith and four clear of Nelly Korda, Pernilla Lindberg and Madelene Sagstrom.
But for a three-putt bogey on the final hole, Park would have set the tournament 36-hole scoring record, settling instead for a share of the mark with Lydia Ko, who was 12-under last year at the midway point.
