Full-field scores from the LPGA Mediheal Championship
Korda is a long hitter, ninth on tour in driving distance, who is becoming a dangerous putter. Shes first on tour this season in putts per greens in regulation, just two seasons after she ranked 65th in that category. With a dramatically improved short game, she leads the tour in scoring (68.85).Just happy to be in the position Im in, Korda said.Parks 66 was the low round of the tournament. Shes playing the Symetra Tour after losing her LPGA tour card struggling with a back injury last year.It was to a point where I couldn't get out of my bed, Park said. But I learned a lot from it. I didn't know how much I missed the sport. I love the sport . . . It was actually a huge turning point for me, a different perspective towards life and golf.Park is No. 290 in the Rolex Womens World Rankings and needed to advance through a playoff in the Monday qualifier to get into this weeks field.Ko birdied the last hole to put herself in better weekend position to claim her 15th LPGA title, her first in 21 months.I played really solid today, so it's definitely nice to be able to put myself in better positions, Ko said. There's still two long days to go, but I'm happy with the way I played the last couple days.
