In-kyung Kim of South Korea birdied her final hole to card a 1-over 73 and hold onto the lead by a stroke over Michelle Wie and Yani Tseng midway through the LPGA Thailand on Friday. Wie began five shots behind Kim, but birdied the first hole and kept chipping away at Kim's lead in a bogey-free round. She picked up two shots on the front nine, then successive birdies on 14 and 15 lifted the American into a tie for the lead at 7 under. But Wie could only par her last three holes, missing a two-foot birdie putt on 18. Wie shared the day's best round of 68 with two other players, Karrie Webb, who was at 2 under, and Anna Nordqvist of Sweden, at 2 over. "It was a good day but I was hot," Wie said. "This weekend I have to play well, not make errors and keep the energy level up." Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=6134941
