Danielle Kang surged to the front of the pack at the HSBC World Championship with a second-round 63 on Friday at the Sentosa Golf Club’s Tanjong Course in Singapore.

Driving rain slowed play in the second round before it was completed with a three-way tie at 9–under, one back of Kang. First-round leader Elizabeth Szokol shot 71 on Friday and is part of the grouping tied along with American Allisen Corpuz and Hyo Joo Kim of South Korea.
