(AP) Defending champion Park Hee Young and Feng Shanshan topped the second-round leaderboard Friday in the LPGA Tour’s Manulife Financial Classic, a stroke ahead of Michelle Wie.
Park had a 5-under 66 to match Feng at 11-under 131 at Grey Silo. Feng shot a 66.
Last year, Park beat Angela Stanford with a birdie on the third playoff hole after they finished at 26-under 258 to match the tour record for lowest total score.
Wie, the winner in Hawaii in April, followed her opening 65 with a 67. She’s seeking her second victory in Canada after winning the 2010 Canadian Women’s Open in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Second-ranked Park Inbee is four strokes back at 7 under a 66, and the third-ranked Lydia Ko also was 4 under after a 67.
