Lydia Ko has shaken off some bad memories of her time at The Club at Carlton Woods in 2023 to remain in contention at the LPGA Chevron Championship at the turn.
After missing the cut at the event last year, Ko sits in a seven-way tie for 10th after two rounds in Texas at four-under-par with a second-round 71 on Saturday (NZ time).
Following her opening round 69, Ko bogeyed two of her first five holes on Saturday, with one more in the round on the par-four 15th. She got some shots back with birdies on holes six, seven, 13 and 18.
Ko and the others tied for 10th sit four shots back from leaders Jin Hee Im and Atthaya Thitikul.
“I actually felt a lot more comfortable playing the golf course on Monday versus last year,” Ko said. “I almost ran out of golf balls when I played my first-ever practice round here last year. I think by the time that tournament had already come, it’s hard to look away from the holes where you had already hit it in the water.
