Lydia Ko Climbs to Second at HSBC Women's World Championship

The Olympic champion and LPGA Hall of Famer trails A Lim Kim by one stroke after a bogey-free second round in Singapore.

Lydia Ko shot a five-under-par 67 in the second round, moving her to 6-under overall and into second place at the HSBC Women's World Championship.
South Korea's A Lim Kim retained the lead with a 3-under-par 69, maintaining a one-stroke advantage over Ko at Sentosa Golf Club.
Ko credited improved iron play and hitting more greens compared to the first round for her strong performance on Friday.
The tournament features a competitive field, including nine of the world’s top 10 players, though top-ranked Nelly Korda and Rose Zhang are absent.
Ko, who won Olympic gold in 2024 and entered the LPGA Hall of Fame, is seeking her first HSBC Women’s World Championship title as she continues to build momentum for the 2025 season.
