Amateur Chakansim and Pattaraporn Share Lead.
Teenage amateur Chakansim Khamborn fired a 67 to share a two stroke lead with Pattaraporn Mounchoo after round two of the BT800,000 Singha-SAT Thai LPGA Championship at the par 72 6,361 yard Bangkok Golf Club on Thursday.
The 16-year-old from Khon Kaen, winner of the 2015 Singha Esan Open in the amateur category, carded five birdies and swapped a double bogey on the 13 th with an eagle on the 16 th for a 67 and a total five-under-par 139.
“It was very windy today and the green speed was quite fast. I won a couple evens in the amateur category and now I’d love to beat the pros to win this tournament. I’ll give it a try tomorrow,” said the young Chakansim.
Pattaraporn sank three birdies without a bogey until she committed a double bogey on the 16th hole. Although she fired an eagle on the following hole, she finished a bogey for a 70.
“I hit seven fairways and 13 regular on greens. The condition was tough due to the winds. Luckily I putted well to save several pars today,” Pattaraporn said.
Overnight leader Saranporn Langkulgasettrin labored to a 75 for a total three-under-par 141 which placed her at lone third.
