The 22-year-old improved his position from second place after the first day’s game.
– I am super-tagged, says the former amateur world setter to AFP about now having the chance for his first LPGA title.
– Tomorrow anything can happen. I can not go out and play in pairs tomorrow. I have to fight for my birdies and try to go a low round to win.
On the first day, Kinhult made four birdies, a bogey and an eagle. Day two, there were four birdies again.
The next Swede is Pernilla Lindberg in shared place 14, four under par. Further down the results list are Dani Holmqvist and Anna Nordqvist in shared place 63.
However, neither Linnea Johansson nor Maria McBride managed the cut.
