SYDNEY — Min Woo Lee has moved into a strong position to win back-to-back titles by taking a three-shot lead halfway through the Australian Open just five days after clinching the Australian PGA Championship. The 25-year-old Western Australian golfer moved to 12 under after a 64 at The Australian Golf Club in the second round. American Patrick Rodgers is tied for second with Connor Syme of Scotland at 9 under. He followed his opening 64 at The Lakes with a 70 at The Australian. Two-time major winner Jiyai Shin leads the women's field at 9 under, two shots clear of defending champion Ashleigh Buhai of South Africa and three ahead of fellow South Korean Jenny Shin.
