Nelly Korda Leads Women's Open by Three Strokes

Nelly Korda, the world number one, delivered a bogey-free 4-under-par 68 in the second round of the AIG Women’s Open, securing a three-stroke lead with a total score of 8-under-par 136. Close competitors include defending champion Lilia Vu and first-round leader Charley Hull, both at 5-under-par. Korda, who has won six LPGA events this season, emphasized her focus on playing one shot at a time and adapting to the challenging links golf conditions. Despite experiencing a slump earlier this season, her impressive performance suggests a return to form. The tournament's competitive field also features Olympic gold medalist Lydia Ko and 2022 champion Ashleigh Buhai, all within striking distance of Korda. As the weekend approaches, Hull remains optimistic, acknowledging her missed opportunities on the greens.
