GILBERT, Ariz. (AP) — A sore throat and runny nose lowered Hannah Green’s expectations for the second round of the LPGA Tour Ford Championship. She sure felt a lot better after a career-best round on a day full of low scoring.

GILBERT, Ariz. — A sore throat and runny nose lowered Hannah Green’s expectations for the second round of the LPGA Tour Ford Championship.Green birdied the final six holes for an 11-under 61 on Friday, giving her a one-shot lead going into the weekend.

Green set the standard at 14-under 130 after making 11 birdies, tied for second-most ever behind Annika Sorenstam's 13 during her historic 59 in 2001. Sarah Schmezel had a bogey-free 63 to match Peiyun Chien at 13 under. Korda had consecutive birdies after starting on the back nine and had two bogeys in three holes to turn in 1-under 35. She had two birdies and eagled the par-5 fifth, but dropped a shot on the long par-4 ninth when the remnants of a dust devil knocked her approach shot short left and she couldn’t get up and down.
