Kim takes lead at Dubai Masters

Wie 2 shots behind after 2 rounds

Published on Friday, Dec 11, 2009

 

From Beacon Journal wire services

In-Kyung Kim shot a bogey-free 7-under 65 Thursday to build a 2-shot lead over Michelle Wie at the halfway point of the Dubai Ladies Masters in United Arab Emirates.

The South Korean, who won the Longs Drugs Challenge this year, believes she could have done better.

''I feel very happy with my round, but I had some more chances for birdies,'' said Kim, who leads at 135. ''I could have gotten a little bit lower. The little putts were hard to read.''

Wie shot 68 in a round that included six birdies and two bogeys. Tania Elosegui (66), who made a hole-in-one on No. 7, and Amy Yang are a shot behind Wie.

It also quotes Charles Warren as saying Woods' wife ''had stars in her eyes and maybe dollar signs, too'' and should leave him. The magazine said in a statement it was investigating.
