Saso, Ardina way off pace; Zhang takes command

But the battle for the crown remains as tight and fierce as ever, with LPGA Tour rookie and former amateur hotshot Rose Zhang pulling ahead of the stellar pack with a brilliant 65 capped by a big par-save on the 17th and a birdie on the closing par-5 hole of the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club.

Saso, who put herself in the early mix with a 67 Thursday but fell to joint 30th with a second round 73, bogeyed the par-5 third hole which she eagled in the previous round. Though she recovered the stroke on the next, the ICTSI-backed 2021 US Women’s Open champion missed a couple of chances in the next six holes then bogeyed the par-3 No. 11.

Ardina actually wrestled with her irons and wedge shots, missing 11 greens although she saved a number of shots with a 26-putt performance. One shot behind Suwannapura midway through the $3 million event, Zhang matched the Thai’s early roll with birdies on Nos. 2, 3 and 4. She also gained strokes on Nos. 7, 9 and 10 then recovered from her lone miscue on No. 14 with birdies on Nos. 15 and 18.
