SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. -- Lest we forget after one round thatInbee Park was still here to compete for the U.S. Women's Open, she made it quite clear in the second-round fog at Sebonack Golf Club.



"We got very lucky to finish today," Park said. "It was tough to play in the fog."



Her putt was the last shot of the day as fog suspended play for a few late starters.



Kim was very much in the thick of things in Thursday's first round. Sharing the lead with Park before Ha-Neul Kim took over, I.K. Kim went on to bogey the 18th hole and drop to third at 4 under.



"Yesterday wasn't the nicest way to finish," Kim said. "Today, I didn't think about how many holes I needed to play. Out here you have to play with everything you have and that's all you can do."




"Typically, I like afternoon (tee) times," Kim said. "It didn't really look very nice this morning, but it turned out to be a much better day."



"My irons were not good and my greens in regulation were bad," Kim said. "I'm not upset. I'm entered. Yeah, (I'm still having fun)."



"She's handled herself very good," Park said. "She's a very consistent player. I watched her playing yesterday and she looked very solid and I look forward to playing with her."



Salas shot par on day two, staying at 4 under and tied for third. She was momentarily was tied with Park at 5 under at the start of the round but bogeyed 14 after two straight birdies on Nos. 7 and 8.



"I learned a very quick lesson from yesterday," Stanford said. "I kind of told myself to knock it off and don't make the same mistakes."
