YANI TSENG
Yani Tseng might not have played her best golf Friday during the second round of the Wegmans LPGA Championship.
However, the Chinese Taipei star was good enough to maintain her lead heading into the weekend as she looks for her fourth major title.
Tseng packaged five birdies, a bogey and a rare double bogey - on the 18th hole- on her way to chalking up a 2-under-par 70, giving her a one-shot edge over surging Pat Hurst at Locust Hill Country Club in Pittsford, N.Y.
Former major champions Paula Creamer and Stacy Lewis are among those lurking behind the leaders, with Creamer sitting tied for sixth place at 3 under and Lewis highlighting a group of 10 contenders at 1 under par.
