(Reuters) - British teenager Charley Hull coped well with gusting winds as she moved into a three-way tie for the lead after Friday's second round in the season-opening Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic at Paradise Island.
The 19-year-old Englishwoman, who has yet to win her first LPGA title, birdied three of her last eight holes to card a three-under-par 70 on a sun-kissed day at the picturesque Ocean Club Golf Course.
Hull, whose only victory on her home Ladies European Tour came at the 2014 Lalla Meryem Cup, posted an eight-under total of 138 to finish level with American Megan Khang (68) and Japan's Haru Nomura (70).
