CHUN EYES OPEN TITLE … AND A FREE DINNER!

-

SOUTH KOREA’S In Gee Chun has a fourth major title — and second of the season — in her sights after claiming the halfway lead in the £6million AIG Women’s Open. Chun, who won the Women’s PGA Championsh­ip in June, carded six birdies and a solitary bogey in a secondroun­d 66 at Muirfield. That gave the 27-yearold a halfway total of eight under par and a one-shot lead over South Africa’s Ashleigh Buhai and Sweden’s Madelene Sagstrom. Sunday’s winner will claim £903,000 from the record prize fund, but Chun revealed she is also motivated by a somewhat smaller sum of money on offer. ‘Before the start my caddie Dean (Herden) and I talked about the course and had a little bet,’ Chun explained. ‘If I have a bogey-free round he’s going to buy me dinner and pay me $100!’
