I.K. Kim increased her lead to three strokes Friday in the LPGA Tour's Portland Classic, shooting a 5-under 67 to reach 12 under. The South Korean player had seven birdies and two bogeys in her morning round in cloudy, calm conditions at Columbia Edgewater. She won the last of her three LPGA Tour titles in 2010, and had a victory this summer in a Ladies European Tour event in England. ''There is a lot of scores out there, so I think it will be a good week for all of us.'' Kim's best LPGA Tour finish this year is a tie for 13th in the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic in April in California.
