Brooke Henderson fired a round of 6-under-par 66 today at Ko Olina Golf Club and holds a two-shot lead after the second round of the Lotte Championship.

The 20-year-old Canadian, ranked 14th in the world, rode a hot putter and took advantage of calmer conditions compared to Wednesday’s blustery opening round to post her second straight bogey-free round and match the tournament’s 36-hole scoring record at 10-under 134.

Mo Martin carded a 5-under 67 and world No. 1 Shanshan Feng finished her day at 3-under 69 to tie for second at 8-under 136. Lindy Duncan, Pernilla Lindberg and Inbee Park enter the third round another two shots behind.

Hawaii’s Michelle Wie carded four birdies and three bogeys in a roller-coaster back nine and finished the day with a 1-over 73. She’s tied for 31st at 1 over for the tournament. Defending champion Cristie Kerr is at 2 over after her round of 75 today.

Wie will tee off at 9:45 a.m. on Friday. Henderson and Martin will be the final pairing of the third round at 12:55 p.m.
