Natthakritta Vongtaveelap finished strongly with six birdies on the back nine to take a one-shot lead over Maja Stark after a 7-under 65 in the second round at the LPGA Thailand on Friday.
The 20-year-old Thai had two birdies against a bogey on the front nine holes before six more birdies, including four straight on Nos. 12-15, for 12-under 132 overall at Siam Country Club.
"I played according to my game plan even though I didn't putt the way I would have wanted at the front nine," said Vongtaveelap, who earned her tour card through Q-School last December. "But after I started making birdies at the back, I was getting more and more confident.""Of course I'm confident with my game now but other players have more experience than I do," Vongtaveelap said."It was very steady," the 23-year-old Swede said.
Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont. is seven shots back of Vongtaveelap and tied for 36th at 5-under after shooting a 69 on Friday. Nelly Korda had an eagle on the 10th along with five birdies and a bogey to share third on 10 under with Celine Boutier , Emily Kristine Pedersen , Jaravee Boonchant and Jenny Shin ."It would be great," Nelly Korda said. "Still 36 holes away from that."
