England’s Holly Clyburn carded a second-round 65 to move within a shot of the lead in the World Ladies Championship at Mission Hills in Hainan, China.
Clyburn hit nine birdies and a bogey to finish eight under par, one behind the defending champion In-bee Park of South Korea, who had a second successive 69.
“I got a fast start with two birdies on the first two and then settled in and made a nice birdie on four and then played nicely for the last six holes on the front nine,” Clyburn said.
Becky Morgan of Wales shared the overnight lead, but could only manage a one-over-par 74 to drop back into a three-way share of fourth place.
