LOS ANGELES – Minjee Lee took advantage of fellow Australian Hannah Green's problems Friday to take the second-round lead in the Hugel-Air Premia LA Open.
The fourth-ranked Lee shot a 2-under 69 to reach 7-under 135 at Wilshire Country Club. She holed a wedge from 114 yards for eagle on the par-4 14th.
''Out of all the ones that I have been close to making, I think that's the only one that I actually saw like drop into the hole,'' Lee said. ''It was pretty cool to see it happen for the first time.''
Green birdied three of the first six holes to get to 9 under, then played the final 12 in 5 over for a 73 that left her three strokes back at 4 under.
