South Korea’s Somi Lee shot a six-under par 65 to take a one-stroke lead after the second round of the Evian Championship.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old made six birdies and eagled the par-five ninth, as well as making two bogeys, to go into the weekend on 10-under.<\/p>\n
“This course is so beautiful, but the green is so tricky, so I’m just [practising] distance,” Lee said.<\/p>\n
“I’m just [focused] on distance. Miss left, miss right, never mind. Just distance – is it perfect.”<\/p>\n

Jennifer Kupcho of the US is third on eight-under after a wild round of 69 that included seven birdies and five bogeys.<\/p>\n
Ireland’s Leona Maguire was one of five co-leaders after a hole-in-one on the opening round and remains in contention, four shots off the lead after a second-round 71.<\/p>\n
