Evian (France) (AFP) - South Korea’s Lee Mi-Hyang added a 67 to her opening 66 on Friday to take the outright halfway lead on 133, nine under par, at the Evian Championship, the final major of the season.

The 22-year-old, who won her first LPGA event at the Mizuno Classic in Japan at the end of last season, led by one from American Morgan Pressel and by two from Denmark’s Nicole Broch Larsen, winner of last week’s Helsingborg Open.
