Hee Young Park and Ha Na Jang fought through gusty wind and early rain on Friday to share the second-round lead in the LPGA Taiwan Championship.
The South Korean players each shot their second successive round of three-under-par 69 at Miramar.
They also each had only one bogey, Jang on the par-four 15th when she got a chip only halfway to the hole and missed a 20-footer, and Park on the par-four 16th when she drove into a bunker and came up well short of the green in two.
"This week is more like, just (being) patient is very important, because the weather is so bad and the golf condition is so bad, too,'' the 24-year-old Jang said. "That's why I'm just hitting fairway, the green. Very important this week. Yep, this weather, this score.''
Canada's Brooke Henderson (71) was a stroke back along with China's Shanshan Feng (69), South Korea's So Yeon Ryu (68) and South Africa's Lee-Anne Pace (70). Defending champion Lydia Ko was tied for 18th at one under after a 73. The top-ranked New Zealander won by nine strokes last year, and has four LPGA Tour victories this year.
