KAWAGOE, Japan : Nelly Korda ignited the Olympic golf with a second round 62 in sapping heat on Thursday to put the United States top of the leaderboard by four strokes as a storm forecast threatened to cut the tournament short.
Korda's 13-under total of 129 left her four ahead of Danish duo Nanna Koerstz Madsen and Emily Kristine Pedersen , and India's surprise package Aditi Ashok . "Whatever happens, happens. But I'm not going to set my mind that it's going to be less than 72 holes right now," she said. Having seemed unstoppable, she hooked her tee-shot into rough at the 18th and effectively gave up the record bid by bunting her recovery into the fairway rather than shooting for the green.
