Thai teen Saranporn grabs 1-stroke lead in Beijing

Saranporn Langkulgasettrin put herself in position to claim her third win of the China LPGA Tour season yesterday when the Thai teenager carded a 6-under-par 66 to take a one-shot lead through two rounds of the BridgeCC CLPGA Beijing Heritage.

The 17-year-old was at 9-under 135 at the Beijing Orient Tianxing Country Club. Singaporean rookie pro Amanda Tan was second after a 69, while Chinese amateur Wang Xinying was three shots off the pace after posting her second consecutive round of 69 at the 200,000-yuan (US$30,000) tournament. Overnight leader Piyathida Ployumsri (73) was equal fourth, tied with fellow Thai Tiranan Yoopan (69) at four shots back. Saranporn has already won the Zhuhai and Wuhan legs this season.
