LPGA Tour: Lydia Ko makes ground with near faultless second round at BMW Ladies Championship
Lydia Ko has dragged herself up the leaderboard and back into contention at the halfway point of the BMW Ladies Championship.
The former world No. 1 found some consistency in the second round at the International Busan course in the Republic of Korea on Friday to be seven shots from the lead.
Ko, who finished her opening round at one-over, has shot a second round five-under 67 to be four-under and in an 10-way tie for 26th.
Helping the Kiwi to keep in contention was the stagnation at the top of the leaderboard.
