Lee5 leads Evian champ Kim at LPGA Portland Classic
South Korea's Lee5 Jeong-eun fired six birdies in a five-under par 67 on Friday to grab a one-shot lead over Evian Championship winner Grace Kim and Gurleen Kaur in the second round of the LPGA Portland Classic. Lee5, a 36-year-old chasing her first LPGA Tour title, thrived again at Edgewater Country Club, where she finished tied for second in 2021. She rolled in five straight birdies from the fifth through the ninth, and added one more at 12 before her lone bogey of the day at 13, moving atop the leaderboard with a 12-under par total of 132. Australia's Kim, who won her first major title last month with a playoff victory at the Evian, had an eagle and six birdies in her seven-under 65 for 133 while Kaur posted a 68. Lee -- whose numeral 5 designation differentiates her from five other players with the same name -- said she tried to stay patient in chilly morning conditions, but after a birdie at the par-five fifth she just rode the momentum and "great energy to continue making birdies until hole nine." She needed just 25 putts in a stellar performance on the greens. "Honestly, all my birdie chances were a short putt, so I think that was the reason I was able to make those birdies and have a low putting stroke today," she said. Kim wasn't thrilled with her performance off the tee, but said her shots into the greens and putting "really backed up my game. "Had a lot of good range, mid-range to long putts today, so that was nice," said Kim. "Just rolled it well." She teed off on 10 and had three birdies and a bogey in her first nine holes. After a birdie at the second she eagled the fifth, then closed with back-to-back birdies at eight and nine. "This week is always a bit of a birdie fest," Kim said. "Knowing that, I'm going to try not to get too ahead of myself and be greedy." Kaur also finished strong, closing birdie-birdie for a four-under 68 to join Kim on 11-under -- one shot clear of Akie Iwai, Pajaree Anannarukarn and Ashleigh Buhai. Overnight leader Adela Cernousek of France carded a three-over par 75 to fall seven shots off the pace. LPGA Hall of Famer Juli Inkster, 65 and playing her first LPGA event since 2022 as she prepares for the US Women's Senior Open, came up just shy of a slice of LPGA history. She followed an opening 69 with a two-over 74 and missed breaking the record for oldest player to make an LPGA cut by one stroke. bb/jgc

Low staffing shuts down Lodi Lake beach, entry fees set to increase
LODI -- At 85 degrees and little to no breeze, it was a perfect day to go out on a boat or take a dip in Lodi Lake. But on Wednesday, swimmers had to stay out of the water. According to the City of Lodi, this is because they are understaffed and don't have enough lifeguards. They had to shut the beach down for three days last week and two days this week. "I'm coming from Stockton. I wouldn't have known that it's closed due to not having the staffing, which is really critical because I wouldn't want my child to go in if there's not the appropriate staffing," Stockton resident Julie Ezqueda said. But that's not all that is impacting lake lovers. Lodi Lake fees are increasing on July 1, just ahead of the Fourth of July holiday. "Lodi has never been this expensive," Lodi Resident Gurleen Kaur shared. "We've lived here for over 10 years now and I mean, everything is just double now. It's just double, double, double, but people are not getting paid enough." Here's the new fee breakdown: Entry fees: increasing from $5 to $8 for residents, $10 for nonresidents Annual entry pass: increasing from $50 to $80 for residents, $100 for nonresidents Annual boat launch fees: increasing from $100 to $130 for residents, $156 for nonresidents Entry fees for the beach: $3 for residents, $5 for nonresidents The only fee staying unchanged is the one-time boat launch fee at $13. According to the city, they are increasing fees to match fees at other similar facilities in the region, claiming their fees are about 60% lower in comparison. They also say it'll increase revenue by more than $93,000 annually, which would go towards upkeep of the lake. Regardless, people from near and far worry they won't be able to afford to come to this special lake in Lodi during the hot summer months. "My aunt is a stay-at-home mom so I don't know if that would be something that she would continue to be able to afford," Kaur said. "I know that her kids come here and swim as well, so that's unfortunate to hear that, because everything's going up." Another issue some locals were mentioning was parking. According to them, last year, some days got so packed that neighborhoods were full of parked cars. Some people even parked in others' driveways and worry that this issue will get even worse with the higher costs. CBS Sacramento asked the city and the parks department about these changes, but they were not available to speak for this story.
