Australia’s Minjee Lee battled swirling winds Friday to grab a two-stroke lead through 36 holes at the BMW Ladies Championship in Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea.

Moving to 11–under with a 3–under 69 that featured four birdies and one bogey, Lee leads at the midway point for the 11th time in her LPGA Tour career. It’s her lowest 36-hole score since winning the 2022 U.S. Women’s Open.
