South Korea’s Kim A-lim carded a seven-under 65 to jump to the top of the Chevron Championship leaderboard on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The 2020 US Open winner sits one shot clear of Americans Lilia Vu and Megan Khang.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

England’s Georgia Hall is seven off the lead after a one-over 73 second round.<\/span><\/p>\n

Play was delayed by rain for two hours, and 31 players were unable to finish the round before darkness fell at The Club at Carlton Woods in Texas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peiyun Chien, who <\/span>emerged as a surprise leader<\/span><\/a> in the opening round, sits on five-under with four holes left.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vu was alone at the top of the leaderboard for much of the day with a midway total of seven-under 137, before Kim returned eight birdies after a bogey on her opening hole.<\/span><\/p>\n

Olympic champion Nelly Korda is tied for fourth after another mixed round, carding three bogeys and five birdies.<\/span><\/p>\n

“There are bogeys out there and you try to minimise your mistakes as much as possible,” said Korda.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I was punching the air a couple of times after my two three-putts, which are kind of stupid mistakes, but you just kind of have to stay mentally tough and know that there are some birdie opportunities as well.”<\/span><\/p>\n

World number one Lydia Ko, who was on three-over with two holes to complete when play was halted, is likely to miss the projected one-over cut.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jennifer Kupcho’s hopes of defending her title are slim, with the American also set to miss the cut after a six-over 78 that included a triple-bogey, double-bogey and three bogeys against two birdies.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
