Nelly Korda enjoyed a sublime second round at the Cognizant Founders Cup to move to four shots off the lead as she chases a record-breaking sixth straight LPGA Tour title.

The 25-year-old American carded a bogey-free six-under-par 66 despite cold and wet conditions at Upper Montclair Country Club in New Jersey.

 

 

Sweden’s Madelene Sagstrom also hit a superb 66 to move into a share of the lead with American Rose Zhang on 13 under.

Zhang, who had led Sagstrom by two strokes overnight, shot a four-under 68.

World number one Korda won her fifth tour title in a row at last month’s Chevron Championship, matching the record held by Nancy Lopez and Annika Sorenstam.

England’s Mel Reid is fifth after a level-par 72, while compatriot Georgia Hall is a shot further back on four under.

Ireland’s Leona Maguire, who started round two on six under, fell back after a four-over 76.
