Lydia Ko's made headway up the Evian Championship golf major leaderboard, but still remains someway off the lead.

The defending champion has carded a three under par second round to be four under for the tournament and move into a share of 13th.

She's nine shots back from Korea's In Gee Chun who has a two shot buffer.

Lydia Ko's coach David Leadbetter says the world number one just isn't feeling it at the moment.

Elsewhere Tim Wilkinson's keeping himself in the hunt for a top 25 finish in the web.com tour, which will earn him a PGA Tour card.
