Amy Yang eagles par 4, stretches LPGA lead to 3 in Malaysia (The Associated Press)

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) -- Amy Yang holed a pitching wedge for eagle on the par-4 11th hole and stretched her lead to three strokes Friday in the hot, humid and stormy Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia.

The 27-year-old South Korean player shot a 2-under 69 to reach 10-under 132 at TPC Kuala Lumpur. Her 125-yard shot on 11 hit on the front of the green, hopped and rolled in.

Anna Nordqvist, Mi Jung Hur and Candie Kung were tied for second after the round that was delayed 1 hour, 43 minutes because of lightning - accompanied by heavy rain - with the last group in the 16th fairway.
