South Koreans Jin Young Ko and Amy Yang are tied for the lead at the HSBC Women’s World Championship after both carding 5-under 67s on Friday.

Ko had a smooth round, opening with a birdie at the first and adding four more in her bogey-free day. It marks her 13th consecutive round in the 60s, dating to the second round of the 2021 BMW Ladies Championship last October, and her 44th sub-70 round since the beginning of last season. She is tied for the LPGA Tour’s record for most consecutive rounds in the 60s, joining Annika Sorenstam and So Yeon Ryu by shooting 14 consecutive sub-70 rounds in mid-2021.

“I just wanted to get some more birdies than yesterday,” said Ko. “I really focused on my swing before the second shot or like before the green, into the green. So I made a lot of putts today.”

Yang had a more colorful scorecard, making seven birdies and two bogeys. She is aiming for her fifth LPGA Tour title, all of which have come on an Asian Swing. She became a Rolex First-Time winner in her home country at the 2013 LPGA KEB-Hana Bank Championship and is a three-time winner of the Honda LPGA Thailand, most recently in 2019.

“I was hitting the ball very solid today and also putted well,” said Yang, who has two top-10s in her 12 previous HSBC appearances. “I was more aware of how to prepare for each shot than, you know, what outcome would come. And I think I did manage well today.”

Three players are tied for third at 7-under – Canada’s Brooke Henderson, American Megan Khang and Thailand’s Atthaya Thitikul, who all shot 68s on Friday.

First-round leader Patty Tavatanakit lost her momentum, following Thursday’s bogey-free 67 with a 2-over 74 and is tied for 21st. Japan’s Momoko Ueda aced the par-3 17th hole, from 166 yards with an 8-iron. It was the third hole-in-one of the 2022 LPGA Tour season. Ueda heads to Saturday in a tie for 26th at 2-under after two consecutive rounds of 71.
