While top-ranked Lydia Ko (69) and Canadian teen Brooke Henderson (69) are in the group at -2 the story at the halfway stage of the Kingsmill Championship is another fantastic youngster 20 year old student Alison Lee who shot a -4 67 to take a two-stroke lead at -9 133.
She tied for fourth in the Kia Classic in March in California and has three top-25 finishes and there was more young talent on display as Australia’s Minjee Lee and France’s Perrine Delacour were tied for second. The 18-year-old Lee had a 67, and Delacour shot 68. Lee led Australia to the world amateur team championship last year.
Suzann Pettersen, Christina Kim, Jing Yan and Catriona Matthew were 5 under. Pettersen shot a 65 for the best round of the day, Kim had a 68, and Yan and Matthew shot 67.
Canadians Sue Kim, Rebecca Lee-Bentham, Jennifer Kirby and Alena Sharp missed the cut.
