JLPGA member Miki Saiki leads by one stroke after two rounds of the Evian Masters Presented by Société Générale in Evian-Les-Baines, France. Saiki followed up her first-round 68 with a 5-under 67 on Friday at the Evian Masters Golf Club to take the outright lead at 9-under-par. Saiki had five birdies on the front nine and birdied No. 11 to get to 10-under before a bogey on the 12th dropped her back a stroke. Saiki tallied pars the rest of the way, giving herself a one-shot lead heading into the weekend over Rolex Rankings No. 10 Ai Miyazato, No. 15 Stacy Lewis, No. 18 Maria Hjorth, No. 20 Angela Stanford and KLPGA member Shin-Ae Ahn.
