MANILA, Philippines – Yuka Saso charged back with a three-under 69 to advance but remained too far off the pace as Swede Madelene Sagstrom and American Rose Zhang delivered impressive rounds to pull away by four halfway through the Cognizant Founders Cup in Clifton, New Jersey Friday .
Although Saso safely secured her spot for the weekend play with a two-under 142 aggregate for joint 29th place, the ICTSI-backed shotmaker found herself trailing the joint leaders by 11 strokes going to the last 36 holes of $3 million championship. Sagstrom banked on a solid frontside 31 to cushion the impact of a rollercoaster backside finish of 35 that featured an eagle and two birdies but marred by a double bogey and a bogey.
But focus will be on Korda, whose bogey-free 32-34 hinted at the coming off an explosive weekend for the hottest player on Tour, who has been in scintillating form with five consecutive tournament victories, including the season’s first major, the Chevron Championship, in Texas last month.
