Swinging Skirts LPGA Taiwan Championship leaderboard http://www.lpga.com/leaderboard
Wei-Ling Hsu was feeling the love from her home crowd at the LPGA Taiwan Championship on Friday and it inspired her to a -5 67 and a one-stroke lead after two rounds.
Hsu had a total of -9 135 on the Ta Shee Golf and Country Club, one ahead of first-round leader Jodi Ewart Shadoff (71).
"That was probably the most people I had around me, I felt a lot of support," Hsu said. "It also helped that I didn't look around much or check the scoreboards."
If she had, she would have seen that former No. 1 Lydia Ko was the big mover Friday with a round-of-the day -6 66 to move into third place and within two strokes of her lead.
The South Korean-born New Zealander had five birdies on her front nine but then stalled somewhat on the back nine. She birdied the 10th and had a bogey on the 11th, then had all pars until her approach to one foot on the par-4 17th gave her a late tap-in birdie.
"Probably one of the best shots of my career," Ko said.
Mirim Lee (67) and Nelly Korda (71) were tied for fourth, three shots off the lead.
Brooke Henderson has shot 70 74 T29 at E. Her undoing was 4 bogey's in 5 holes from the 1st-5th.
