Minjee Lee produced the equal best round of the day (67) to improve 28 positions on day two of the KPMG PGA Championship at the Baltusrol Golf Club in New Jersey and at the halfway mark of the second major of the year from women’s golf, she is in a share of 5th place and just two behind Ireland’s Leona Maguire.
Lee raced to the turn in 32 after starting at the 10th hole today and played her closing nine in even par to be 3 under for the event.
NSW’s, Grace Kim, is the next best of the Australians in a share of 21st after being unable to keep pace with her opening 70.
Victorian, Gabi Ruffels, currently starring on the secondary Epson Tour after failing to enter final LPGA Tour qualifying last year is tied for 29th after fighting back from four consecutive dropped shots in the middle of her round.
Hannah Green and Stephanie Kyriacou are tied for 49th while Lydia Ko, seemingly battling swing changes, only just made the cut on the number.
