Miyu Yamashita is making a mockery of the field at the Maybank Championship. The defending champion and world No. 4 fired a blistering 6-under 66 in the second round to surge to 13-under 131 - and nobody looks capable of stopping her.
Charley Hull will be kicking herself. Five birdies in her opening six holes promised fireworks, but the Englishwoman stumbled home for a 69. She sits tied for fifth, four shots adrift. That early momentum? Wasted.
Julia Lopez Ramirez and Pauline Roussin-Bouchard share second at 11-under. Lopez Ramirez birdied three of her final four holes for a 66. Roussin-Bouchard, the first-round leader, couldn't keep pace with Yamashita's charge.
A Lim Kim posted the day's best score - a stunning 64 - yet still trails by three shots in fourth. That tells you everything about Yamashita's dominance.
The tournament lost its highest-ranked entrant before a ball was struck. Haeran Ryu withdrew with a finger injury suffered during the pro-am. With Nelly Korda and Jeeno Thitikul already absent, the field was already weakened.
Yuri Yoshida, last week's BMW Ladies Championship winner, is lurking at 5-under after a 70. The LPGA's Asian swing wraps up next week at the Toto Japan Classic in Omitama, outside Tokyo.
