G. Kim stumbles to 76, still shares LPGA lead
G. Kim Falters to 76, Maintains LPGA Co-Lead
South Korea’s G. Kim’s strong start at the LPGA’s LA Championship has been marred by a disappointing second round. After shooting a bogey-free 64 on Thursday, Kim struggled to maintain her momentum, carding a four-over-par 76 on Friday.
Despite her setback, Kim remains tied for the lead with fellow South Korean Sei Young Kim, who carded a one-under-par 70. American Danielle Kang, who held a share of the lead after the opening round, trails by one stroke after shooting a 71.
Kim’s struggles on Friday were evident early on, with a bogey on the second hole and another on the fourth. She also had a double-bogey on the par-three sixth hole. On the back nine, Kim managed a birdie on the 10th hole but gave it back with a bogey on the 12th.
