Steady second round keeps Lydia Ko in the hunt at PGA Championship

October 10, 2020

Lydia Ko remains right in the hunt at the midway point of this year’s PGA Championship after a steady second round.

Chasing her third major title and first win in two-and-a-half years, Ko sits just one shot off the lead after an even-par 70 in Pennsylvania today.

The former world No 1 had a steady day playing in one of the morning groups, balancing one birdie with one bogey and 16 pars.

The effort keeps Ko two-under for the tournament, with American duo Danielle Kang and Jennifer Kupcho both just ahead of her leading the competition at three-under.
