Four players are leading the LOTTE Championship after two rounds: the leader of the first round, the South Korean A Lim Kim, the Chinese Ruixin Liu, the Japanese Yuri Yoshida and the Russian Natalia Guseva. The two French women in the running made the cut. Perrine Delacour has fallen in the rankings but she remains in a good position to save her card. Pauline Roussin-Bouchard reacted well after her initial misstep.
The equation is quite simple for Perrine Delacour in Honolulu: a top 5, or even a top 10, should allow him to save his card LPGA Tour in 2025.
After a second round where she had to settle for par, including two bogeys on her last three holes, Picardy went from 2nd to 12th in the standings. LOTTE Championship. Which drops her in the projected Order of Merit ranking to 103rd. Only the top 100 qualify for the following year. He will therefore have to do better during the last two rounds in Hawaii (the tournament takes place from Wednesday to Saturday).

On a day where once again the scores were good, even if the conditions were a little more difficult than the day before with a slight breeze and a few drops of rain, four players took control of the tournament. Or rather three, since A Lim Kim kept them after his festival on Wednesday. Long alone in the lead, she gave in in the final by making two bogeys on her last two holes.
She therefore shares leadership with the Japanese Yuri Yoshida and the Russian Nataliya Guseva (who signed a 67) as well as the Chinese Ruixin Liu (68).
One of the great stories of the day is the chip returned for eagle signed Angela Stanford46 years old, who thus crosses in the extremes le cut.
Pauline Roussin-Bouchard gets back on track
The good news on the French side is the beautiful menu of Pauline-Roussin Bouchard (68) which ensures him to make the cut, after a failed first round. We found the one who scored five top 10s in a row on the Ladies European Tour in two months, between August and October. She signed five birdies and this number could have even been better if she had negotiated the par 5s better.
If, as she has got into the good habit, the native of Montélimar (26) shines this weekend, a new good place is possible. The top 10 is four shots away.
