Su-Yeon Jang takes lead halfway through 2nd round in Hawaii (The Associated Press)

KAPOLEI, Hawaii (AP) -- Su-Yeon Jang shot a 6-under 66 on Thursday at windy Ko Olina to top the leaderboard halfway through the second round of the LPGA Tour's Lotte Championship.

Jang, the 21-year-old South Korean player who got in the field on a sponsor exemption, is coming off a victory last week on the Korean LPGA. She had a 7-under 137 total in her second LPGA Tour start.

Defending champion Sei Young Kim was second after her second straight 69. The South Korean player won last month in Phoenix for her fourth LPGA Tour title in two seasons.
