NAPLES, Fla. — Everyone in the CME Group Tour Championship is playing for something.
Lydia Ko and Inbee Park are playing to win the LPGA's biggest season-ending awards. There's a group playing for a $1 million bonus. Some are playing to build momentum for 2016.
And then there's Karine Icher. She's playing for France.
Icher — the lone French player in the 71-woman field — shot a 5-under 67 on Friday in the second round of the LPGA's season-finale, giving her a 36-hole total of 138 that has her within four shots of the lead. Icher has friends who knew some of the 130 people killed last week in Paris, when extremists attacked a concert hall, a soccer stadium and cafes and restaurants.
