UPDATED: Yuka Saso has kept her co-leadership spot at the 2020 Daio Paper Elleair Ladies Open of the Ladies Professional Golfers’ Association of Japan (LPGA) Tour after wrapping up the second round today.

Earlier on November 20, 2020, the Filipino-Japanese Asian Games and Japan LPGA’s first champion from the Philippines took over the leaderboard of the four-round tournament in the early rankings, overtaking yesterday’s co-leader Yuna Nishimura.

The Mercedes Benz Player of the Year race leader took the first four consecutive birdies of the first round on November 19 and continued to display her championship form.
