Share

PALOS VERDES ESTATES, Calif. (AP) — Ruoning Yin had the low round of her LPGA Tour career, a 7-under 64 on Friday to share the 36-hole lead with Hyo Joo Kim at the DIO Implant LA Open.

Yin, a 20-year-old from China in her second year on the LPGA Tour, turned in 3-under 32 and made four birdies in a five-hole stretch on her second nine at Palos Verdes to post a two-round total of 10-under 132.

Yin’s best LPGA result was a tie for fourth in last year’s Dana Open, her only top-10 finish.

Maude-Aimee Leblanc of Sherbrooke, Que., is tied for fourth at 4-under after carding a second consecutive 67 at Palos Verdes.

Kim, whose five career wins include a major at the Evian Championship in 2014, shot her second straight 5-under 66. She has made only one bogey through two rounds.

Nasa Hataoka (66) was one shot back, Maude-Aimee Leblanc (67) was two behind, and Americans Lilia Vu and Megan Khang were three shots off the lead.

Monday qualifier Mi Hyang Lee, the first-round leader, struggled to a 3-over 74 and was seven shots back.

Maddie Szeryk of London, Ont., is tied for 134th at 7-over.
