World No. 1 and No. 2 flew high.

World No. 1 Nelly Korda (USA) and No. 2 Gino Thitikul (Thailand) entered the competition for the championship by raising their rankings side by side on the second day of the LPGA Tour Ford Championship (total prize money of $2.25 million).

In the second round of the tournament held at Willwind GC (par 72) in Chandler, Arizona on the 29th (Korea time), Koda made eight birdies and blocked one bogey to hit 7-under 65. Koda, who shot 5-under 67 in the first round, posted 12-under 132 overall on the two days.

Koda, who started the game with a birdie at the 10th (par 5), then added birdies at the 12th (par 5), 15th (par 3), 17th (par 5), and 18th (par 4) to reduce five strokes in the first half alone. In the second half, he made his first bogey on the day at the 4th (par 4) to the birdie at the 2nd (par 5), but then added birdies at the 5th (par 4) and the 7th (par 5).
For two days, he had stable drive shots with an average of 290 yards and over 82 percent, and a 77.8 percent accuracy rate in green. He entered the bunker three times, but he was strong even in times of crisis as he saved all of them with par. During the two days, he only wrote 55 putts.

In just one day, the Chinese golfer also elevated his ranking by more than 20 notches. He garnered seven birdies with one eagle and one bogey on the day, recording 8-under 64 to end the second round with a tie with Koda at 12-under 132. Starting from the 10th hole, he tied an eagle and five birdies in the first half to post 7-under par, and in the second half, he recorded two birdies and one bogey to reduce one stroke.

As of 7:10 a.m., the second round match was underway, and Koda and the teetiker finished the match tied for first place.

Koda is aiming at winning the title for the second consecutive year at her third competition this year. She won the title at 20 under par at last year's competition.

The teetotaler has continued to play unwavering this year, finishing third in his first game of the season at Honda Thailand in February, tying for second in the HSBC Women's World Championship and tying for 12th in the Blue Bay LPGA held in China earlier this month.

Following Koda and the teetotaler, Charlie Hull of England and Lilia Bou of the U.S. trailed by two-digit under pars. Hull cut one stroke through the 10th hole and Boo cut four strokes through the 8th hole.

Kim Hyo-joo shot a 6-under 66 on the day to make a mid-term total of 9-under 135 to jump to the top, and Lee So-mi also reduced six strokes to raise the ranking and finish the game first. 온라인카지노
