Pettersen grabs lead in 2nd round
Print Edition
GOLF reclaimed center stage from Donald Trump at the Women’s British Open as Suzann Pettersen tamed tough early conditions to set a challenging clubhouse target midway through the second round yesterday.
Pettersen was the only player among the early starters to break par, with the Norwegian taming a stiff breeze off the western Scottish coast in Turnberry to shoot a 3-under 69.
That moved her into a tie for the lead on 7-under par alongside Kim Hyo-joo, who started her round just as Pettersen finished hers.
If Thursday was about Trump, his grand arrival in a private helicopter and his campaigning for the US presidency during play, yesterday was all about Pettersen. Only five other players, including 2010 champion Tseng Yani, avoided going over par — they all shot 72 — in the first 16 groups to finish. Two players scored 10s on a single hole.
Top-ranked Park In-bee shot a 73, leaving her five shots back, and still unhappy with her game in what she says is a midseason lull. Park is looking to complete a sweep of the majors here.
