Soo Bin Joo thrives in the wind and builds a 4-shot lead in the ShopRite LPGA

Soo Bin Joo thrived in a raging wind off the Atlantic Ocean inlets Friday for a 3-under 68, closing with a long two-putt birdie on the 18th hole and watching her lead to grow to four shots by the end of a taxing day at the ShopRite LPGA. Joo, whose only professional win was on the Epson Tour two years ago, finished two different rounds at Seaview Hotel at 8-under 134. “I was barely making pars on the golf course today and yesterday was like going for birdies on every single hole,” Joo said.
