A Lim Kim has hole-in-one, lead at LPGA's Lotte Championship

HONOLULU -- A Lim Kim had a hole-in-one on the par-3 ninth and birdied the final two holes for a 5-under 67 and a one-stroke lead over Nataliya Guseva on Friday in the Lotte Championship.

"Calculate number and then chose line and then hit it," Kim said about the ace. "I think 99% lucky."

Kim rebounded from a bogey on the par-4 16th with the birdies on the par-4 17th and par-5 18th. She had a 14-under 202 total at breezy Hoakalei Country Club with a round left in the event that started Wednesday.

"Every tournament I think same -- focus on my line and then hit it," Kim said.
