PAJU, South Korea — Hannah Green finished her weather-delayed second round with an 8-under 64 on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead after 36 holes of the LPGA Tour’s BMW Ladies Championship.
Green was 4-under in his fifth round when rain interrupted the rest of the day’s play. The Australian had a two-round total of 16-under 128 on the Seowon Valley Country Club course after shooting a first-round 64.
South Africa’s Ashleigh Buhai finished her second round on Saturday with a 66 and tied for second. Paris Olympics gold medalist Lydia Ko (66) and Jenny Shin (69) are tied for third, five strokes behind Green.
Green won the 2019 PGA Women’s Championship, the biggest on the LPGA Tour. Buhai is also a major champion, having won the 2022 Women’s British Open at Muirfield.
The third round in South Korea was to be completed later on Saturday.
The field features eight of the LPGA Tour’s top 10 players. It includes 17 of the 18 winners this season on tour, with the only major absentee being American Nelly Korda, who withdrew due to a neck injury.
