LPGA Evian Major: In Gee Chun Holds a Two Stroke Lead After the 2nd Round

In Gee Chun may not be a household name on the LPGA Tour, however, her dazzling play of -13 under par after two rounds at the Evian Championship in French countryside overlooking Lake Geneva is quite impressive. Olympic bronze medalist China' ShanShan Fend sits at -11 under par going into weekend play. Because the Evian Championship is considered the LPGA's unofficial "5th Major" there is alot at stake for all players as the season 2016 season nears an end. Rain showers mixed with clouds and sunshine made for an added challenge during round one of the Evian Championship, where Sung Hyun Park and In Gee Chun topped the leaderboard with bogey-free rounds of eight-under par, 63. They hold a one-stroke lead ahead of Olympic bronze medalist Shanshan Feng and rookie Annie Park. Sung Hyun Park, a non-member on the LPGA Tour, is making her seventh start on Tour this week and plays some of her best golf in major championships, having held the lead earlier this summer during the U.S. Women’s Open where she ultimately finished T-3 for the week. She has finished outside the top-13 just once in her six appearances on Tour. Which player has the edge going into weekend play? Send your picks to the Pro Golf Tour
