MOBILE, Alabama: Jessica Korda had seven birdies in her seven-under par 65 yesterday to seize a one-shot second-round lead over surging Hall of Famer Karrie Webb at the Mobile Bay LPGA Classic.
Korda built a 36-hole total of 13-under 131, while Australia’s Webb climbed up the leaderboard with a bogey-free nine-under 63 for 132.
Chella Choi of South Korea led much of the day, but her six-under 66 finally left her in third place on 133.
Webb did all she could, grabbing four of her nine birdies in her last five holes as she closed her round with three straight birdies.
“I’m not sure the last time I had a bogey-free round, so I’m really happy about that,” Webb said. “That’s sort of been my problem is I have bogeys at the wrong time and it really kills momentum.”
Webb predicted she’d need to maintain that kind of pace.
“I think I’ll need to do that for the weekend playing with Jess. She played really solidly for two days,” Webb said. AFP
