Brittany Lincicome opened a three-stroke
lead Friday in the wind-swept LPGA
Championship, the tour's fourth major
championship of the season.
The long-hitting Lincicome followed her
opening 67 with a 68 to reach nine under
par at Monroe Golf Club in Pittsfield,
N.Y. She won the 2009 Kraft Nabisco for
her lone major title and has five LPGA
Tour victories.
Lexi Thompson, tied for the first-round
lead with Meena Lee, dropped into a tie
for second at 212 with defending
champion Inbee Park of South Korea.
Thompson had a 72, and Park shot 66.
That gave the United States two players
at the top as the Americans go for their
fourth straight major title of the
season. Thompson won the Kraft Nabisco
to start the run.
Seventeen-year-old Lydia Ko of New
Zealand had a 69 to join Lee, who is
from South Korea, and Jane Park at five
under. Lee had a 73 and Park a 69.
