Seo, in the meantime, birdied 18 to complete 1-under on the again and 1-under on the entrance.
Lam stored inside putting distance of the leaders after parring all 9 holes on the again 9 to cool down after a wild entrance 9 that she scrambled to a 1-over. On these first 9 holes, Lam had an eagle, birdie and 4 bogeys.
