Sei Young Kim, a 33-year-old golfer from South Korea, has taken the lead in the JM Eagle LA Championship at El Caballero Golf Club in Los Angeles, with a total score of 14-under after shooting a second straight 7-under 65. Kim made a strong move on the back nine, scoring five birdies in a seven-hole stretch. She is closely followed by Chizzy Iwai of Japan and Ina Yoon of South Korea, both tied for second place at 13-under. Iwai, who was the first-round leader, shot a 68 with three birdies in a crucial stretch, while Yoon achieved an impressive 64, including a 7-under 29 on her first nine holes. The tournament serves as a precursor to the Chevron Championship, a major event scheduled for next week in Houston. Kim is looking forward to the upcoming major but remains focused on maintaining her lead through the weekend. Other notable players include Jin Hee Im, Melanie Green, and Jessica Porvasnik, all five strokes back at 9-under.
