PAJU, South Korea (AP) — Rain washed out much of the second day of the BMW Ladies Championship in South Korea on Friday with none of the players completing their rounds.
Hannah Green of Australia, Ashleigh Buhai of South Africa and Jenny Shin of South Korea led after Thursday’s first round with scores of 8-under 64 at the Seowon Valley Country Club.
Green stayed at the top of the leaderboard and was 4 under after nine holes — 12 under for the tournament — before play was suspended. Buhai was two strokes behind at 10 under, also after nine holes.
The second round will be completed on Saturday prior to the start of the third round. Rain is not in the forecast for the rest the tournament, which is set to wrap up on Sunday.
The field is loaded with eight of the LPGA Tour’s top 10 players. It also includes 17 of the 18 winners this season on the tour. About the only key player missing is American Nelly Korda who withdrew with a neck injury.
