Céline Boutier, who won the inaugural Maybank Championship last year in a nine-hole playoff, is part of a group tied for 11th place at five-under-par. The winner this weekend earns $450,000 and 500 Race to CME Globe points. The total purse for the event is $3 million.
Nelly Korda, who pulled out of the tournament with a neck injury, leads the points race by nearly 1,200 over Lydia Ko. Alison Lee currently stands in the No. 60 spot on the Race to CME Globe points list, a little less than three points ahead of Alexa Pano. Lee withdrew from the tournament during the first round while Pano shot a three-under-par 69 in Round 1.
