Vongtaveelap, Sung share LPGA Tour lead at windy Hoakalei

HONOLULU (AP) — Natthakritta Vongtaveelap shot a 2-under 70 at windy Hoakalei Country Club to hold onto a share of the lead Thursday in the LOTTE Championship. Making her second LPGA Tour start, the 20-year-old Thai player had four birdies and two bogeys in the second round to match sponsor invite Yu Jin Sung at 8-under 136. In February, Vongtaveelap won her first two events as pro on the Thai LPGA Tour, then was second behind Lilia Vu in the LPGA Thailand. She opened with a bogey-free 66 on Wednesday to share the first-round lead with Frida Kinhult. Sung had her second straight 68. The South Korean player had five birdies and a bogey. Georgia Hall and Linnea Strom were a stroke back.
