Vancouver (AFP) - Candie Kung found her groove at the halfway stage of the Canadian Women's Open, but world number two Lydia Ko and first-round leader Karine Icher are also in the hunt.

The 34-year-old Kung birdied four of her final six holes to fire a bogey-free eight-under 64 to reach 11-under 133 and seize a two-shot lead over Kiwi Ko and France's Icher on Friday.
