Thailand’s Atthaya Thitikul and South Korea’s Im Jinhee shared the second round lead at the LPGA’s Chevron Championship, the first women’s major of the season, but record-hunting American Nelly Korda sits just one shot behind.

MANILA, Philippines —

But late in the day, Im and Thitikul both finished strongly to grab the top spot heading into the weekend. But she bounced back immediately, draining a birdie putt on the second and then claiming another on the par-five fourth. “Kind of all over the place on the front nine, but pretty clean scorecard on the back with two birdies,” she said, noting that the early double hadn’t knocked her off her game.
