Koreans steal show in Taiwan LPGA meet

TAIPEI: Park Heeyoung (pic) and Jang HaNa fought through gusty wind and periods of rain to share the secondround lead in the LPGA Taiwan Championship.

The South Korean players each shot their second straight threeunder 69 at Miramar yesterday.

They also each had only one bogey, Hana on the parfour 15th when she got a chip only halfway to the hole and missed a 20footer, and Heeyoung on the parfour 16th when she drove into a bunker and came up well short of the green in two.

Canada’s Brooke Henderson (71) was a stroke back along with China’s Feng Shanshan (69), South Korea’s Ryu Soyeon (68) and South Africa’s LeeAnne Pace (70). Defending champion Lydia Ko was tied for 18th at oneunder after a 73. The topranked New Zealander won by nine strokes last year.
