Rain interrupts the BMW Ladies Championship game in South Korea with Green at the helm

PAJU, South Korea (AP) — Rain on Friday washed out much of the second round of the BMW Ladies Championship in South Korea, leaving none of the players able to complete their rounds.

Hannah Green of Australia, Ashleigh Buhai of South Africa and Jenny Shin of South Korea led with scores of 8-under 64 after Thursday’s first round at Seowon Valley Country Club.

Green remained at the top of the leaderboard and was at 4 under after nine holes (12 under for the tournament) before play was suspended. Buhai was two shots behind at 10 under, even after nine holes.

The second round will be completed on Saturday before the start of the third round. No rain is expected for the remainder of the tournament, which ends on Sunday.

The field features eight of the top ten players on the LPGA Tour. This also includes 17 of this season’s 18 winners on the tour. The only key player missing is USA’s Kelly Korda, who was sidelined with a neck injury.
