ONEIDA, Wis. (AP) Katherine Kirk shot a career-best 9-under 63 to take a three-stroke lead in the weather-delayed second round of the inaugural Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic.
The 35-year-old Australian played the back nine in 7-under 29 on Friday at Thornberry Creek, the Oneida Nation-owned resort near Green Bay. Kirk eagled the par-5 13th and hit a hybrid to 4 feet on the 196-yard, par-3 17th for her final birdie of the day. She was 13 under through two rounds.
Kirk has two career victories, most recently in 2010. She finished her round before a 3 hour, 30-minute delay for lightning in the area.
