LPGA 2023, Portland Classic, Portland, Oregon, 31 Aug - 3 Sept, Day Two
Perrine Delacour stays ahead in Portland; Sarah Kemp & Grace Kim easily make the cut
From LPGA News, by The AP:
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Perrine Delacour held onto the Portland Classic lead Friday with another bogey-free round at Columbia Edgewater, shooting a 5-under 67 in perfect conditions a day after opening with a 63 in the rain.
"You had to adjust for the pins, especially on the wedges," Delacour said. "But it was definitely nicer. I mean, even though the bag is still wet from yesterday, but it was definitely nicer to be in shorts and polos instead of rain gear." Read more
From The West Australian, by Staff Writers, for AP:
Defending champion Andrea Lee (71) and two-time winner Brooke Henderson (68) were in the group at 7 under that includes leading Australian Sarah Kemp.
After opening with a 66, Kemp dropped down the field with a 71 and is tied 25th.
Grace Kim shot a 69 to make the 4-under cut by one and is two behind Kemp. Read more
From Yardbarker:
After a slow start in the afternoon wave, with just one birdie on the back nine at Columbia Edgewater Country Club, Delacour reached 14 under by getting birdies to fall at Nos. 3, 5, 6 and 7. She stayed bogey-free for the second straight day -- and has shot 10-under on the front nine over two days -- despite needing five more putts than she did during Thursday's round of 63 that gave her the lead.

From LPGA News, by Amy Rogers:
There’s a reason why many players who win, especially those who win for the first time, choose not to play the tournament the following week. Because it’s exhausting.
Megan Khang, who won for the first time on the LPGA Tour at last week’s CPKC Women’s Open, is playing once more this week at the Portland Classic.
And the newest winner in the women’s game is feeling quite tired.
Khang said she’s doing her best to take her time, pace herself, and not overly tax herself away from the golf course. The strategy has paid off through the first 36 holes. Read more
