Jang grabs solo lead at LPGA Lotte Championship

I think it's just really peaceful and a little bit different to be at, " she told media today. "I just love the competition. We talked about how many times I won conventional and how many times have I won left-hand-low, and the difference was astronomical".

In Gee Chun, the 2015 U.S. Women's Open champ, was 12 under after a 65. "I was able to hole some longer putts on my front nine. It's kind of a bonus".

World No 1 Lydia Ko carded a bogey-free three-under 69 on Thursday (Friday NZ Time) in the second round of the LPGA Tour's Lotte Championship to ensure she will make the cut in Hawaii. There were scenarios which could have seen So Yeon Ryu and Ariya Jutanugarn overtake her with a victory coupled alongside a poor finish for Ko, but both players are now alongside Ko in chasing pack.

However, things have been improving the last few rounds, and Ko was pleased with her recent results on the greens.

Hawaii has thrown its share of surprises at this year's field.

Weather forecasters are predicting more rain for Saturday's final round but Jang's not anxious.

The Cavs vs Pacers game will revolve on the match up between George and James, the two stars each playing against each other. IN closed the month and the regular season with five consecutive victories to secure the seventh playoff seed in the East.

Lee, 24, made the cut just once in three previous starts at Ko Olina.

Jang Su-Yeon, among the 15 players still on the course when play was halted due to darkness, was also at nine under with two holes remaining. Jang birdied her 17th hole early Friday to claim the second-round lead, then had "some real good food my dad cooked up" before teeing off in the third round. She has played all six Lottes, with her best finish in her first, when she tied for 25th.

"It's good to come back to a place I know", Jang said.

Ko's biggest rival on the LPGA Tour, Ariya Jutanugarn, fired a 2-under-par 70, but just couldn't get anything going as the third round plodded along, and sits in solo fifth.

"Being on the LPGA and having an opportunity to play with these players that I've never had an opportunity to play with is fantastic", said Jang, via a translator.

Salas, who played for the U.S.in the last two Solheim Cups, has fond and frustrating memories of Ko Olina.
