Song and Kono remain 1-2 after two days at LPGA Tour Q-School

Christine Song shot a 2-under 70 on Thursday in windy conditions on LPGA International's Legends Course to take a two-stroke lead over former UCLA star Stephanie Kono after the second round of the 90-hole LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament.

Song had an 8-under 136 total. She opened with a 66 on Wednesday on the Champions Course.

"The wind was tough today," the 20-year-old Song said. "When it was blowing, it was really blowing."

Kono, an amateur, had a 71 on the Legends Course.

"The wind picked up on the back nine, where it was definitely a two-club wind at times," Kono said. "This is not an easy course and, with the wind, it's a beast."

Jennie Lee, Jacqui Concolino and Rebecca Durham were 2 under. Lee had a 71, and Concolino shot a 72, both on the Legends Course. Durham had a 71 on the Champions Course.

Seventeen-year-old Ginger Howard, trying to become only the fourth black player on the LPGA Tour, was 5 over after a 79 on the Legends Course.

The top 40 and ties will receive 2012 LPGA Tour membership.
