Inbee Park was unable to hit the heights of her opening round but a three-under-par 69 gave her a share of the lead with fellow South Korean Park Hee-young at the halfway stage of the HSBC Women's World Championship in Singapore on Friday.
Park Hee-young drained a 10-foot birdie putt at the last for a 68 to join the seven-times major winner on 11-under for the tournament, two shots in front of compatriot Kim Hyo-joo (68) and China's Lin Xiyu (68).
Carlota Ciganda shot a 67 on another sweltering day at the Sentosa Golf Club course and that earned the Spaniard a share of fifth place with Ryu So-yeon (69) on eight-under.
