KAPOLEI: Thailand's Ariya Jutanugarn and Kim In-Kyung each birdied their final holes on Thursday to share the lead during the suspended second round of the LPGA Lotte Championship. World No.3 Ariya had a bogey-free six-under 66, and Kim shot 64 to reach nine-under 135 at Ko Olina Golf Club. Ariya won five times last season and was the LPGA Tour's player of the year. Nontaya, ranked No.159 in the world, shot a 67 on the second day and was only two shots off the pace, sharing eighth spot with four other players. The two-time LPGA Player of the Year is winless in her last 69 starts -- and eight under on Ko Olina's front nine this week.
