Korda 6 shots back in quest for record win streak

The 23-year-old American professional golfer Nelly Korda is six shots off the pace at the Volunteers of America Classic after a first-round 70 in Texas. Korda, who is aiming to break the LPGA Tour record of consecutive wins set by Annika Sorenstam in 2005, needs to finish top of the standings in three competitions in a row to beat the Swede’s mark of five in a row. Aged 14, Korda became the youngest in history to qualify for an LPGA major, and in 2021 she won the major Meijer LPGA Classic by three strokes.

G. Kim stumbles to 76, still shares LPGA lead

G. Kim Falters to 76, Maintains LPGA Co-Lead

South Korea’s G. Kim’s strong start at the LPGA’s LA Championship has been marred by a disappointing second round. After shooting a bogey-free 64 on Thursday, Kim struggled to maintain her momentum, carding a four-over-par 76 on Friday.

Despite her setback, Kim remains tied for the lead with fellow South Korean Sei Young Kim, who carded a one-under-par 70. American Danielle Kang, who held a share of the lead after the opening round, trails by one stroke after shooting a 71.

Kim’s struggles on Friday were evident early on, with a bogey on the second hole and another on the fourth. She also had a double-bogey on the par-three sixth hole. On the back nine, Kim managed a birdie on the 10th hole but gave it back with a bogey on the 12th.

World No. 2 Vu withdraws from Chevron Championship due to shoulder discomfort

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) — World No. 2 Vu withdrew from the LPGA Chevron Championship on Thursday due to shoulder discomfort.

Vu’s withdrawal marks the first time in her career that she has missed a major championship.

The 24-year-old Vu has been struggling with shoulder pain for the past few weeks. She aggravated the injury during a practice round on Wednesday.

Vu said she is “very disappointed” to miss the Chevron Championship, but she is following the advice of her doctors and physical therapists.

“I’m really hoping to be back competing soon,” said Vu, who won her first major championship at last year’s Amundi Evian Championship.

Vu is the second top-ranked player to withdraw from the Chevron Championship. World No. 1 Ko Jin-young withdrew on Tuesday due to a wrist injury.
