Moving on. World number two Park Inbee took the lead at Mission Hills in China, setting the course for a title defense and a second straight victory.
Making a stop on the Ladies European Tour, Park pulled away for sole position of first after posting another 4-under-69 to take her two-round total to 8-under-par.
But with Holly Clyburn and Lin Xiyu trailing at second by a single shot, Park needs to stay aggressive en route to the championship round on Sunday.
