Kim had two eagles, including a hole-in-one, for a 5-under 67 round to sit two shots back in second.

Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont., struggled through a 3-over round to sit in a tie for 34th at 2 over.

Hamilton’s Alena Sharp is the only other Canadian in the field and she sits in a tie for 62nd at 7 over after a 6-over day.

An air quality advisory in the metro Vancouver area continued from yesterday due to smoke from ongoing wildfires in British Columbia’s Interior region. 

That advisory included Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club but its course remained relatively clear of smoke due to strong winds off the nearby Fraser River.
