PUBLISHED: | UPDATED:

A year ago in the Kingsmill Championship, In Gee Chun finished at 15 under. In nine of the previous 12 events here, that would have been enough to claim the winner’s check.

Unfortunately for her, Lexi Thompson picked that week to obliterate the tournament record at 20 under. Chun was a runner-up for the first of three times during the 2017 season.

A case of bad timing, maybe, but the memories she brought back were all positive. With a second-round 66, Chun leads at 11 under par, with 60 players left to finish their second round after weather caused two delays Friday.

Austin Ernst and Nasa Hataoka are a shot back at 10 under. Ariya Jutanugarn, Kingsmill’s 2016 champion, and Angel Yin are tied for fourth at 9 under.

Play was suspended for the day at 7:25 p.m. with 60 golfers remaining on the course. That included Jessica Korda, who is at 8 under with four holes left. She was tied for sixth place with Megan Khang.

Those who need to complete their second rounds are scheduled to tee off at 7:30 a.m. Saturday. The last two groups have eight holes remaining.

After that, the cut will be set. The third round, it is hoped, will start at 10:30 a.m. with groups of three teeing off from Nos. 1 and 10.

That’s the plan, anyway. The forecast calls for continuous rain through Sunday, which leaves the LPGA Tour facing the possibility of having its second consecutive event shortened.

Chun has the second-lowest stroke score of her career after 36 holes with 131. She was at 129 after two rounds of the 2016 Evian Championship, which she went on to win by four shots.

The 23-year-old South Korean took Friday’s lead for good with a birdie on No. 17. It was her sixth consecutive sub-70 round at Kingsmill.

“Yeah, I really like this course,” she said. “I’m always happy to play here and see all the good people from here. Everything was very comfy.”

Chun, whose last win was a major title at the 2016 Evian Championship, birdied two of her first three holes before a bogey on No. 4. But after saving par on 5, she birdied 6 and 8 before adding two more on the back nine.

Chun hit all 14 fairways and had only 28 putts.

“I felt good today,” she said. “I could see the putting lines very well today, so I (had) a good score.”

Ernst avoided bogeys by hitting all 14 fairways and 16 of 18 greens to finish with a 65.

“I hit the ball really well today,” said Ernst, who played two years at LSU before turning pro. “I think every birdie I made was inside 6 or 7 feet. Hit a lot of fairways, hit a lot of greens, and my speed was really good, so I never really had to work too hard.

“My game has felt really good all year. It’s really just been a matter of kind of cleaning a few things up.”

The conditions during her round, which began at 9 a.m., ranged from overcast and soggy at No. 1 to sunny and muggy by No. 18. With the forecast for Thursday and Friday grim, Ernst was pleasantly surprised to get in two uninterrupted rounds.

“Absolutely,” she said. “Yeah, I was thinking yesterday I might have to play like 30 holes today.”

Hataoka, a 19-year-old from Japan, had her second consecutive bogey-free 66. She hit a hole-in-one on No. 17 in Thursday’s first round and nearly did it again Friday, leaving the ball about a foot from the cup.

“I putted better than yesterday, so I played really well today,” Hataoka said through a translator. “I’m not nervous today and I focused on one shot at a time. I hit it good.”

Hataoka played here last year as a rookie and missed the cut by four shots.

“I think the golf course suits me,” she said. “I was thinking last year (it) kind of (suited) me, but I think my golf game is coming back this year.”
