The first two rounds of the LPGA’s Kroger Queen City Championship at Kenwood Country Club in Cincinnati, Ohio, are in the books.
Peiyun Chien, a 32-year-old from Chinese Taipei, shot a 64 a day after posting a 66 and leads at 14 under, four shots ahead of the field. Chien has eight top-10s in six years as a pro but may finally break through in a big way this week.
However, several big names in the field this week are headed home early and they’re getting a two-day headstart on a three-week break on the LPGA. The Solheim Cup is in two weeks but the next LPGA event isn’t until the end of the month at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship.
The 36-hole cut came in at 1 under. Here are five big names who missed the weekend at the Kroger Queen City Championship.
