LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England – Move over, world.

The Thais are playing through.

The Jutanugarn sisters aren’t the only gifted young players from Thailand looking to make their marks in the women’s game.

Pornanong Phatlum took the second-round lead Friday at the Ricoh Women’s British Open with a 5-under-par 67. She’s at 10 under, overall, one shot ahead of Minjee Lee (70), Georgia Hall (68) and Mamiko Higa (69).

Phatlum is looking to become the third Thai player to win an LPGA event in the last three weeks and the second Thai player to win a major this summer.
