Kim Sei-young matched her 5-under 67 score from the first round to share the lead Thursday with fellow South Korean Kim In-kyung at the halfway point of the Lotte Championship in sunny Kapolei, Hawaii.

Both golfers are tied at a 10-under total.

Kim In-kyung shot a 3-under 69 and fell off the lead with a bogey at the ninth. The three time LPGA winner came back with a pair of birdies on No. 14 and 15 to share the lead before closing out her round.

World No. 3 Park Inbee shot a 2-under 70 and found herself just three shots behind the lead heading into the weekend.

Chella Choi and Jenny Shin are tied for fourth at 6-under.

Defending champion Michelle Wie shot a 3-under 69.
