Sarah Schmelzel, who has never won an LPGA event nor finished in the top 10 at a major, shares the lead with Amy Yang midway through the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in Sammamish, Wash.

The 30-year-old Phoenix native shot a 5–under-par 67 on Friday at Sahalee Country Club to move to 6–under 138, leaving her atop the leaderboard alongside South Korea’s Yang, who carded a second-round 68.
