Wind no problem as Coughlin builds big lead

Lauren Coughlin continued her strong form at Shadow Creek, shooting 3-under 69 in windy conditions to open a five-shot lead at the Aramco Championship. She is 8 under overall, while Hyo Joo Kim and Leona Maguire are tied for second at 3 under. Strong winds made scoring difficult, with far fewer players under par compared to the first round. Miyu Yamashita fell back after a triple bogey on the 17th, while Nelly Korda also struggled in the tough conditions. The course played close to a major-style test due to the wind. Coughlin made several key birdies, including a long putt on the 8th and an important birdie on the 16th, and now takes a clear lead into the weekend.
