Ha Na Jang opens two-shot lead in LPGA’s rain-plagued Marathon Classic

South Korea’s Ha Na Jang shot a four-under 67 to increase her lead to two strokes in the suspended second round of the LPGA Tour’s Marathon Classic in Sylvania, Ohio.

Jang had a nine-under 133 total at Highland Meadows. Winless in 23 career tour events, she capped her bogey-free round with a 12-foot birdie putt on the par-four ninth.

South Korea’s Q Baek was second after a 67.

The start of the round was delayed 2 1/2 hours because of rain and lightning, and play was suspended for the day at 8 p.m. because of more lightning. Fifty-four players were unable to complete the round.

Shanshan Feng, Sarah Kemp and Dewi Claire Schreefel were tied for third at six under. Feng shot a 67, Kemp had a 69, and Schreefel a 68.

Top-ranked Inbee Park and defending champion Lydia Ko, ranked second, were four under after 14 holes.

Hensby leads Barbasol Championship

Australia’s Mark Hensby birdied three of the final four holes for a seven-under 64 and a share of the second-round lead in the inaugural Barbasol Championship at Opelika, Ala.

Hensby matched South Korea’s Whee Kim at nine-under 133 on Grand National’s Lake Course in the PGA Tour event for players who failed to qualify for the British Open.

The 43-year-old Hensby won the 2004 John Deere Classic for his lone PGA Tour title. He has fought rotator cuff problems in his right shoulder and has limited tour status.

Kim shot a 66. He’s playing his 19th event in his rookie season on the PGA Tour.

Argentina’s Emiliano Grillo, the highest-ranked player in the field at No. 98, shot a 66 to join first-round leader Sam Saunders and Charlie Beljan at eight under.

Saunders, Arnold Palmer’s grandson, followed his opening 64 with a 70. Beljan had a 64.
