Korean Jang Stays Two Ahead at Marathon Classic

(Reuters) - South Korean Jang Ha-na's overnight lead of two strokes was preserved when the weather-delayed second round of the Marathon Classic was completed at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Ohio on Saturday morning.

LPGA Tour rookie Jang, still bothered by a back injury that has her finishing her golf swing with one arm, had fired a bogey-free four-under 67 on Friday to set the tournament pace at nine-under 133.

Fellow Korean Q Baek, who clinched her first LPGA title at last year's LPGA KEB HanaBank Championship, was alone in second after carding a matching 67.

Fifty-four players were yet to finish the round when play was halted late on Friday due to a threat of lightning and of those, Taiwan's Yani Tseng made the biggest move on Saturday.
