Kim shoots record 62; Jenny nine shots off

-

PRIDDIS, Alberta – South Korea’s Song-Hee Kim shot a tournament-record 9-under 62 for a share of the second-round lead in the Canadian Women’s Open with Norway’s Suzann Pettersen on Friday. Filipina Jennifer Rosales fired a 69 but was nine shots behind with 142.

Pettersen, coming off a playoff loss to M.J. Hur last week in the Safeway Classic in Oregon, shot a 68 to match Kim at 9 under at Priddis Greens.

Top-ranked Lorena Ochoa (68) and Women’s British Open winner Catriona Matthew (66) were a stroke back, and Hur (67), Angela Stanford (65) and Sun Young Yoo (66) were 7 under. First-round leader Anna Rawson followed her opening 64 with a 73 to finish at 5 under. Michelle Wie was 3 over after a 69 and missed her first cut of the season. She shot a 76 on Thursday.

The 21-year-old Kim, winless in three seasons on the US LPGA Tour, birdied the first six holes and finished with 10 birdies and a bogey to break Rawson’s day-old course record by two shots. The tournament mark also was 64.

“I didn’t know I had six birdies in a row, so it was awesome,” said Kim, who shot a scorching 28 on the front nine. “I mean it was fantastic.”  (AP)
