Nelly Korda hits her stride and builds 2-shot lead in Phoenix

Nelly Korda was just as good in the tougher afternoon conditions Friday, posting a 7-under 65 for the lowest 36-hole score of her LPGA Tour career and building a two-shot lead at the halfway point of the Ford Championship. Korda missed an opportunity late to stretch her lead a little more when she missed a 2-foot birdie putt on the par-5 17th. “I have left a couple shots out there at the end,” Korda said.
