While most of the field crumbled, Hye-Jin Choi refused to buckle. The South Korean posted a 2-over 74 on Friday at Sheshan Golf Club - hardly her finest work - but it was enough to keep her firmly in control at 6-under 138 through two rounds.
That's still a two-shot cushion. Let that sink in.
Grace Kim and Amy Yang are lurking at 4-under, tied for second. Choi's three-stroke advantage from round one has been trimmed, and the pressure is building fast.
Defending champion Jeeno Thitikul managed a 73 but sits four shots adrift in a tie for seventh. Not out of it - but running out of time.
Make no mistake: this course is a beast. Long par-4s and treacherous greens are punishing anyone who blinks. The nasty winds on Friday turned scoring into a nightmare for most competitors.
This is the opening event of the late-season Asian Swing on the LPGA Tour, with South Korea, Malaysia and Japan still to come. If this is the appetiser, the main course could be savage.
