Chun moves to top at Women’s British

-

In Gee Chun took the halfway lead at the Women’s British Open after a five-under 66 in the second round on Friday, putting her in position to challenge for a second major title of the year, and fourth overall.

Chun had an eight-under total of 134, putting her one shot ahead of Ashleigh Buhai and Madelene Sagstrom, who both shot 65.

Seven-time major winner Inbee Park was a shot further back after a 67.

Chun, who won the Women’s PGA Championsh­ip at Congressio­nal in June despite consecutiv­e weekend rounds of 75, carded six birdies and a solitary bogey in her round at Muirfield.

Kim co-leads PGA

Joohyng “Tom” Kim shot six-under 64 for a share of the lead with Brandon Wu and Ryan Moore at the Wyndham Championsh­ip.

Kim has to win to qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs because he will not be considered a PGA Tour member until September when the new season starts. Only a victory gives him instant membership.

He made quadruple bogey on his first hole Thursday but has since made 14 birdies.

John Huh followed his first-round 61 with 71.

A storm late in the afternoon led to a delay that kept the second round from finishing.

Harrington eagles to lead Champions

Padraig Harrington made a long eagle putt on the final hole for a six-under 64 that gave him a one-shot lead over Kirk Triplett in the PGA Tour Champions’ Shaw Charity Classic.
