South Korea's Jang Su-Yeon notched a birdie and a par early Friday to cap a second-round 67 and seize the halfway lead in the weather-delayed LPGA Lotte Championship in Oahu, Hawaii.
Jang, third on the KLPGA money list in 2016 with two wins on the Korean women's tour, had five-birdies overall in her five-under effort and had a 36-hole total of 134
With the third round due to start later Friday, she had a one-stroke lead over South Korean Kim In-Kyung and Thailand's Ariya Jutanugarn.
"Overall, my shots didn’t feel particularly solid, but my putts fell really well and gave me a number of birdies," Jang said.
"There were some risky moments, but I think a bit of luck during those moments helped me end with a good score."
Kim and Ariya were the clubhouse leaders when play was halted on Thursday.
Kim fired a sizzling eight-under-par 64 for a nine-under total of 135, while Ariya carded a six-under 66.
Jang was also nine-under when darkness fell, but her birdie Friday at the par-three eighth, the penultimate hole of her round, gave her sole possession of the lead.
American Stacy Lewis, Becky Morgan of Wales, Canadian Alena Sharp and South Korean Lee Mi-Hyang shared fourth after two rounds on eight-under 136.
