PHOENIX — Sei Young Kim made two eagles in a 6-under 66 on Friday in the JTBC Founders Cup to take a two-stroke lead into the weekend at Desert Ridge.
The 23-year-old South Korean player had a tournament-record 15-under 129 total. She opened with a 63 on Thursday.
After a 300-yard drive on the par-5 15th, her 165-yard approach nearly bounced into the hole and settled 7 feet past the cup to set up the second eagle. On the par-5 second, she made a 30-foot eagle putt.
Kim won three times last season and was the LPGA Tour's rookie of the year.
