Zhang Weiwei’s chip-ins on the final two holes included an eagle and a birdie, helping her post 6-under 66 to share the lead in windy conditions, officials said.
- On Thursday, Zhang Weiwei chipped in on her last two holes for eagle and birdie to finish 6-under 66, sharing the lead at the Blue Bay LPGA in China.

- Auston Kim shot a 67, with nine birdies and four bogeys, tying for third last week in Singapore, and said 'a couple three-putts today' affected her score.
- Zhang, one of 20 players from the China Golf Association, said 'I hit it a bit heavy,' but 'the landing spot was perfect and it rolled straight into the hole,' boosting momentum.
- The Blue Bay LPGA closes the LPGA's three-tournament Asia swing, which had the weakest field of the three events; last week in Singapore featured nine of the top 10 with Nelly Korda skipping the Asia swing.
