Sei Young Kim leading the Buick LPGA Shanghai, Celine Boutier 2nd

The American Lucy Li occupies third place with a score of 65 (-7). After a difficult start marked by a bogey, Li made no more mistakes thereafter and obtained eight birdies. Her compatriot Angel Yin signed a card of 67 (-5). The defending champion conceded no bogey and made an eagle on the par 5 of hole 17, helped by her sublime hybrid shot. Yin Ruoning, the highest ranked player in the tournament (4th in the world), is -2 (70). Hannah Green, seventh in the world and double winner on the LPGA this season, had a day to forget with a score of 77 (+5).
