Top-ranked Sung Hyun Park shares Kia Classic lead

CARLSBAD, Calif. — Sung Hyun Park shot a 6-under 66 on Friday at the Kia Classic to take a share of the lead into the weekend.

The top-ranked South Korean star birdied four of the first five holes on her back nine in her second straight bogey-free round at Aviara Golf Club. The Singapore winner last month, she also had a share of the second-round lead last week in Phoenix in the Founders Cup before fading.

“Overall, I’m pretty happy with my play today, especially the bogey-free two days in a row,” Park said through a translator.
