In the FM Championship, Miranda Wang demonstrated her skill on the golf course, leading the leaderboard with an impressive performance. The golfer waited patiently to achieve a birdie that allowed her to finish her second round with a 67, five under par.The day at the TPC Boston was marked by interruptions due to rain, which forced Wang to spend around ten hours to complete his round.Nelly Korda, who was scheduled to start in the afternoon, managed to play four holes, including two birdies, and will continue her participation on Saturday morning.The number one in women’s golf, Jeeno Thitikul, along with Hannah Green and defending champion Lauren Coughlin, hurried on the ninth hole upon noticing the darkening sky, seeking to finish their round before the next interruption.
Wang had already accumulated 16 birdies in 36 holes, with notable streaks. He started the tournament with eight birdies in his first nine holes and finished the second round with three consecutive ones.I don’t think I could have prepared myself mentally for another interruption.

An eight-foot putt for birdie on the 18th hole temporarily stopped play. After the resumption, Wang holed the putt, reaching a total of 11 under par, with a score of 133.
Madelene Sagstrom shot a 66, finishing at 9 under par (135). Green (68), Azahara Munoz (68) and Celine Borge (66) were one stroke behind.The LPGA expects the tournament to resume as scheduled, possibly for Saturday night or Sunday morning, thanks to a favorable forecast for the weekend. Plans are to make the cut and send groups of three players from both sides of the course.Korda, seeking her first victory of the year, will face 32 holes on Saturday, hoping to stay in contention.Thitikul, who recently displaced Korda in the world ranking, advanced with four birdies in the second half of the course. She completed the first half with a par, achieving a 68 and remaining four strokes away.The priority of the day was to finish the round. It was his idea that the group not waste time playing the ninth hole when seeing the clouds.I didn’t expect the weather, as the forecast didn’t anticipate storms this morning. But, that’s golf. We play in nature, so sometimes it’s unpredictable. We just have to face it and prepare mentally and physically for the storms, trying to stay calm and warming up as if we had never stopped, just keep going.
