Royal Lytham & St Annes has a habit of testing the front-runner and rewarding whoever recovers best from the hole that goes wrong, and on Friday it was Haeran Ryu who did the recovering. Two over par after five holes, having bogeyed the third and doubled the par-three fifth, the world number three might easily have let the round drift. Instead she played her last thirteen holes in five under, closing with a ten-foot birdie at the last for a two-under 69 and the outright lead at the halfway point of the AIG Women’s Open.
