So Yeon Ryu of South Korea shot a 6-under 66 Friday in another bogey-free round to take a commanding five-stroke lead at the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open.
Ryu set a course record with a 63 on Thursday and continued her sizzling play during Friday’s second round. Her 36-hole 129 (-15) tally is a new Canadian Women’s Open record. Cristie Kerr and Inbee Park held the previous 132 record set in 2013 at Royal Mayfair Golf Club in Edmonton, Alta.
American Danielle Kang, Swede Anna Nordqvist and Na Yeon Choi of South Korea are tied for second at 10-under 134.
Canada’s Jennifer Kirby of Paris, Ont. continues to lead the way for the Canadian contingent after posting an even-par 72 Friday at London Hunt and Country Club to hold a share of 24th position. The Team Canada Young Pro Squad member will be joined on the weekend at London Hunt by Team Canada national amateur team members Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont. and Jennifer Ha of Calgary who sit at 3-under 141 through 36 holes. Also advancing to weekend play is Team Canada Young Pro Sue Kim of Langley, who shot 71-72 (-1) to squeak by the cut line
