Reigning Rolex Co-Player of the Year Sung Hyun Park took the field by storm on Friday morning, posting a season-best 9-under par 63 to tie for the lead with American Lizette Salas and 2018 LPGA rookie Jin Young Ko at -13. The second round of the Indy Women in Tech Championship Driven by Group 1001 was suspended Friday at 2:32pm due to unplayable course conditions after storms passed through the area. Play resumed at 6:25 p.m. and was suspended due to darkness at 8:22 p.m., with the entire afternoon wave resuming play at 7:45 a.m. Saturday.
Ko had to play the entire front nine on Saturday morning, and did so in style with birdies on four of her first five holes to finish with a career-best 36-hole score of 131 and tie the lead. Ko is working with a new caddie this week, Jeff Brighton, and she said she’s trying not to put too much pressure on herself or him this week.
“I don't want to try too hard on the course, just I’m really trying to just enjoy it on the course with my new caddie,” Ko said on Saturday morning.
