The South Korean led Megan Khang (67) and Lilia Vu (69), both seven-under, by one when play was suspended due to darkness on Friday in The Woodlands, Texas.
Tee times were delayed by two hours on Friday morning after the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course at The Club at Carlton Woods received more than 51mm of rain overnight.
Most golfers completed their second rounds, but 31 will return to the course Saturday morning to finish up.
Kim’s 65 was the round of the week thus far and brought her to eight-under for the championship.
Nelly Korda (70) and Thailand’s Patty Tavatanakit (67) are tied for fourth at six-under.
Kim is no stranger to the major stage. Her only title on the LPGA Tour came at the 2020 US Women’s Open.
“I believe in my ability and in my practice and my team,” Kim said. “Yeah, they’re really helpful for me.”
