Nelly Korda started her round with a bogey at the par-4 10th but didn’t take a step wrong for the rest of her round. She fired six consecutive birdies in her back nine to close with a tournament record-tying 63 at Atlanta Athletic Club and heads into the weekend with a one shot lead over first round leader Lizette Salas at 11-under.

“I just blacked out out there,” said Korda. “Actually, the one on 17, No. 8, was the highlight of my round.

“I pushed my drive out right, and I was near a root, so I wasn’t even sure if I could hit it. Thankfully, I hit just the top of it. It’s so scary when you have those types of shots. To drain a long putt was nice, too.”

Korda has won twice so far this year at the Gainbridge LPGA in February and at last week’s Meijer LPGA Classic.

“Every week is a new week,” Korda said. “Every golf course is a new monster, new golf course. When you win, it’s hard. In a sense, you kind of don’t even get to enjoy it because I won and then hey, it’s a major championship, like get ready. They’re two completely different golf courses and two different strategies. It’s just good golf that I’ve been playing, and hopefully I can continue on with that.”

Salas shot a bogey-free 67 to back up her opening 67.

“I’m definitely satisfied. We came in with some goals, and we’re reaching them. I think overall my attitude has been pretty solid. It’s a major; it’s supposed to be tough. It’s supposed to test you in several different ways, and I think I’m handling it quite well, and back-to-back 67s, I’m not going to complain. I think this is good momentum going into the weekend.”

Celine Boutier started the tournament with an uninspiring 73 but stayed focused and produced seven birdies, an eagle at the par-4 6th and a single bogey at the 8th for a 64 and a tie for third place at 7-under.

“I was definitely a bit worried yesterday because I wasn’t hitting as well. I went to the range and managed to find something in my swing that helped me today. I hope I can build on some confidence for the weekend.”
