Defending champion Park Inbee shot a 4-under 69 Friday to take a one-stroke lead after the second round of the World Ladies Championship in Haikou, China.

The second-ranked Park had six birdies to offset two bogeys on Mission Hills’ Blackstone Course. The South Korean was at 8-under 138 overall, a stroke ahead of Holly Clyburn (65) and Lin Xiyu (68).

The bigger story here may be that Park committed her first bogey in 99 holes the day before. But since it happened outside of the LPGA Tour, she’ll get another chance to extend her bogey-free streak.

Park is coming off a victory at the HSBC Women’s Champions in Singapore on Sunday, her 13th LPGA Tour title.

Suzann Pettersen, the 2013 winner, was tied for 10th after a 72.
