Hong on birdie blitz

Two runs of three consecutive birdies on the back nine proved to be the difference for Hong Ran yesterday as the Korean veteran fired a 4-under 67 for a one-shot lead through two rounds of the inaugural Brunei Ladies Open. The 31-year-old Hong, the overnight leader, was on 11-under 131 at the Empire Hotel and Country Club course in Jerudong. Koreans dominated the leaderboard in occupying the top 11 positions at the tournament tri-sanctioned by the China LPGA Tour, the Brunei Darussalam Golf Association and the LPGA of Korea Tour. Jang Eun-soo and Han Jin-seon each shot 6-under 65 to sit one shot back, while Lee Jung-min (66) was alone in fourth two shots off the pace. Thailand’s Supamas Sangchan was the top CLPGA Tour regular as the Sukothai native improved to a 4-under 67 to sit equal 12th at 6-under par. Guangdong native Luo Ying (68) was the top Chinese player at 2-under par.
