Sealed with an eagle on the final hole, 2021 ANA Inspiration champion Patty Tavatanakit took the second-round lead at the Honda LPGA Thailand after a second-straight 8-under 64. Her -16 overall ties the 36-hole scoring record last achieved by Jessica Korda in her 2018 victory at Siam Country Club. Tavatanakit said making that 12-foot eagle putt only boosted her confidence heading into Saturday.
“Didn't really hit a good drive off 18 and then just kind of forgot about it, don't let it bother me and move on to the second shot, which was pretty good actually. It was 246 to the hole and probably like 210 to the front, so I was just trying to hit the front number and I hit a really good shot,” said It came on the really hot, which is a little bit of low spin into that soft ground and a little bit of an up slope. Just the perfect shot.”
