Jeeno Thitikul extends Women’s PGA lead and semi-retired Lexi Thompson contending for another major
Jeeno Thitikul has extended her lead to three strokes at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. The No. 2-ranked player in the world finished a six-hour round Friday with consecutive birdies for a 2-under 70 to get to 6-under 138 after two rounds. That’s three strokes ahead of Minjee Lee and Rio Takeda. Lexi Thompson is four back after a 70 on another steamy day on the Fields Ranch East course at PGA Frisco. Only seven of the 156 players who started the season’s third major were under par through two rounds. There have been no bogey-free rounds in the season’s third major.
