Grace Kim’s 7-under-par 64 on Thursday gives her a 1-shot lead entering the 2nd round of the JM Eagle LA Championship on Friday.
Grace Kim carded a bogey-free 64 on Thursday at Los Angeles’ Wilshire Country Club, taking a one-shot lead into Friday’s second round of the JM Eagle LA Championship. Chasing Kim are Maja Stark, Chanettee Wannasaen and Sei Young Kim, each of whom scored six-under-par 65s. The rest of the LPGA received an opening this week after world No. 1 Nelly Korda withdrew from the event on Monday after winning the season’s first major, The Chevron Championship, last weekend. That ran Korda’s winning streak to four consecutive events as she opened a commanding lead in the Race to the CME Globe standings. Her 2,702 points is more than double the total of second-place Lydia Ko.
