A disastrous start to her second round at the Evian Championship has seen Lydia Ko fall down the leaderboard after carding a five-over 76 at the Evian Resort Golf Club in France.
Ko started the day off with two bogeys in her first three holes, before a triple bogey fifth left her with work to do for the rest of her round. While she had two birdies on the back nine, those were cancelled out by another two bogeys.
The round offset the blistering start the world No 3 made in her opening round, where she finished five-under to hold a share of second place.
After her second round, Ko sits even in a tie for 22nd. France’s Celine Boutier finished the day on top of the leaderboard with a two-under second round seeing her tournament score move to seven-under at the halfway point.
Elsewhere in Europe, fellow Kiwi Steven Alker will take a one-shot lead into the weekend at the Senior Open in Wales as he looks for his second Senior Major Championship victory.
