Sung Hyun Park made nine birdies in an 11-hole stretch Friday on her way to a 10-under 62 and a one-shot lead over Monday qualifier Yealimi Noh in the Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic in Oneida, Wis.
Park, coming off a victory in Arkansas that returned her to No. 1 in the world, was at 17-under 127 and surprised at how well she was playing.
"I made four birdies in a row twice today. I honestly didn't know," Park said through a translator. "When I was 8 under today, I thought I was 7 under."
Noh, who chose to turn pro instead of going to UCLA, has made one bogey in 36 holes and finished her round with a 6-foot birdie putt on the par-5 ninth for a 65.

Runner found dead after accusations
A 70-year-old marathon runner was found dead in the Los Angeles River, days after he was disqualified from the Los Angeles Marathon following allegations of cheating.
The body of Dr. Frank Meza was discovered Thursday morning. He had told his wife he was going for a run, and police later responded to a call that someone was about to jump from a bridge above the river.
Meza had been accused of cheating in previous marathons and was disqualified this year after officials said he left the course during the race. His time of 2 hours, 53 minutes, 10 seconds had been the fastest ever for a man his age.
