Haeran Ryu leads AIG Women's Open following strong second round
Summary

Haeran Ryu ended the second round of the AIG Women's Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes as the leader, bouncing back from an early setback. The South Korean golfer is at seven under par, one stroke ahead of Shiho Kuwaki. Ryu recovered from being three over early, finishing the round with five birdies, including one at the 18th hole. This performance follows her victory at the Evian Championship earlier this month, where she claimed her second major title in two weeks. As the tournament progresses, Ryu aims to become only the fifth woman to win three majors in a calendar year.
