Jang leads by 1 at halfway point of LPGA Tour

In the afternoon, she made one birdie in six holes to get back to 7 under and share the lead again with Jang, who played 24 holes before third-round play was called because of darkness. Jang was steady with 15 pars, two birdies and a double bogey on the 13th hole. She was stopped on the 18th green by the rain on Thursday. It was 39 degrees when she returned to attempt the birdie putt, and she rammed it too hard, missing the next putt coming back. “Obviously, it’s not the best start of the day, but I had a nap and got over it, and it definitely got much better”. “Things I only dreamt of happened”.

Although Nomura looked a little tight standing in the tee box at No. 1, she loosened up chatting with Ko, who sits atop the world rankings.

The teenager feared she may have moved her ball when she addressed it on the seventh green late in the day, but TV footage showed no movement.

“We knew it was going to be long, and we were ready for that”.

The remainder of the third round and the final round are due to be played on Sunday (NZT).

The 72-hole tournament is scheduled to end Saturday.

Michelle Wie was in a large group at 4 under that included Suzann Pettersen, U.S. Women’s Open champion In Gee Chun, Lexi Thompson and Juli Inkster, who birdied her opening hole of the second round before the storms arrived.

Jang played more golf.

Heavy rain then swept across the course at Golden Ocala Golf and Equestrian Club, forcing play to be abandoned for the day, with only 22 players in the field of 120 back in the clubhouse having completed their rounds. “And then I went through my whole warm-up stretching routine in the hotel room to get ready and come out here mentally prepared”. “You can’t control the weather”. I wasted some time.
