Munoz shares Hawaii lead with Miyazato

LPGA TOUR: Azahara Munoz shot an eight-under 64 to share the second-round lead with Ai Miyazato at the inaugural LPGA Lotte Championship in Hawaii.

The highlight of Munoz’s round came when she holed from 102 yards for an eagle at the par-4 sixth. She also carded eight birdies and a bogey. The Spaniard ensured a memorable round with four birdies over the last five holes, but it was still only enough for a tie at the top with Japan’s Miyazato on eight under. Miyazato shot a bogey-free 65, including back-to-back birdies at 17 and 18. The duo hold a two-stroke lead over a pack headed by Jimin Kang and Cristie Kerr on six-under. Kang shot a six-under 66 while Kerr signed for a 68. World No 1 Yani Tseng could only manage a 72 to fall back into a tie for 12th on three under.

Scotland’s Janie Moodie missed the cut on 148 (73, 75).
