Grant Moon and Morgan pressle watching Lydia this morning at 10 one birdie and one bogey to this point on her scorecard through the front nine and in front alone Lexi Thompson big finish to 2023 trying to get this year off to a good start LPG your

Incredibly but gets that one to drop at the fourth and Lydia one more time at 13 Lex he would go to four under with that one I fway just continues to put good weeks together third year player from Japan got off to a rough start two over for five the fifth birdie after that to get her back in contention she roll that in SE young Kim here’s aaka

Buay this is at the par five6 the signature Bridge here and that’s signature aaka buay isn’t it dropping in a long putt Lucy Lee was a rookie last year on the LPGA Tour had to go back to Q School Q Series but she got through there and off to a good

Start co-leader Lydia Co just got away with a t-shot little bit too much down the right side has 172 to the hole this a five arm but it’s going a little left was almost the exact same place Karen she ended up yesterday off the te on this

Hole but that’s she’s going to get away with that one there mhm got a similarly good bounce yesterday on the par five 17th well really showing off what power can do on this golf course able to put her second shot in here close enough to have a good look at birdie

Here our leader aaka budway for another birdie at the seventh yeah this is going to be slick barely gets that started down the hill as a good-looking roll just broke right across the hole this is a low wedge has 75 yards little bit of helping wind from the

Right but still very mild in comparison to yesterday beautifully done there this hole playing half a shot under par easiest hole in the golf course today Maria FY getting her second round going here second at 11 oh she knew it ah fantastic shot might be one of the

Only ways to get the golf ball to stop from over there it is so quick beyond the whole location on 11 well done that’s been Lydia to tie the lead here EAS [Applause] done she just looks so calm this is aaka buay third shot at the par

Five8 Lydia tier aaka will have that to move back in front to the 10th and this is China’s shiu Lyn starting her second round and this 10’s playing a good bit under par today can take dead aim at this flag stick just like that chipping across the green here Li

Looks to be pretty good we should have some control over this golf ball this was a moment ago got a attention oh it’s got our attention that’s an eagle three for SE young yeah first eagle of the day today on the eighth hole they had three eagles here

Yesterday back of the eight this is how kaput away to regain the lead we heard Tony jacqulyn say it every player and every Cades told us keep it below the hole at Bradon Country Club yeah you could see the last couple cuts that aaka has had she just has not uh

Been able to be aggressive been forced to putt defensively always higher so it’s managing those as well when you when you come out here was quite safe with her t-shot keeping it in the the fattest width of the Fairway that was from 158 yeah that was fantastic her swing

There looked a lot better than what we saw yesterday see if shiu Lyn can begin her second round with a birdie she just keeps knocking on the door Morgan 143 for for Lydia and the wind just slightly picking up at the moment little helping wind here down 18 as it was

Yesterday that’s a bit of a pull got a good bit more distance because when you you pull a shot shuts the face down a little bit and typically goes further than you want it to yeah you read the putt almost backwards from that perspective think about what it’s going

To do towards the hole and that affects where you want to start it at the beginning and as typical Lydia beautifully judged on the speed on that delicate putt didn’t quite hit as many greens today as as you noted it’s still going to be around under par for Lydia one underpar

70 long pry attempt for iaka buay on her final hole a slow putt up the hill into the green different than the last couple of putts that she’s had that one could be a little more aggressive with but still wonderful speed just looking at this leaderboard

Morgan and Lydia coming off a win Sunday Nelly hasn’t won since the end of 2020 SE young since the end of 2020 Lucy Lee trying to break out and win for the first time and Lexi who’s had some wins around the world but looking for her first LPGA title since the summer of

2019 so a lot at stake great shot from Lilia she shot 74 yesterday but this for a round of 67 with the big day tomorrow watch out don’t count Lilia Vu out pretty much ever finishing up her second round Jasmine sanura finishing up her second round two

Off the lead as she plays the 18th she can cruise into the afternoon and nilly just getting started Karen stles is now watching the former number one in the world he’s got 134 this is an eight right now there’s probably about a club a club wind into it whipped around a little more

Strongly at times yesterday here is Seline boutier she’s one under she plays the par 3 11th defending champion and this from a similar spot to Nelly back up the hill slightly different angle more from the left looks like a good positive role though very positive back at the 11th this is Seline

Bouttier saw the great t-shot at the par three her first start of the Season bradon’s version of a in corner here she Going the Distance chance to start back to back just with a bit of an awkward three put so and try and bounce back here just 21 years old a great player

Really fun personality back to the 15th long par attempt from off to back for for Lucy Lee just a wretched break to have it roll up against the palm tree minimize the damage maybe yeah she’s still going to have some work cut out for her not much of a lip on this

Bunker at the back here but it is downhill all the way to the hole just so quick just a tough leave there but all in all pretty good shot I think she had to be a little disappointed with the way she passed yesterday hit the ball quite well but

Just couldn’t quite get the ball into the bottom of the cup so the way she started so far is a good sign as with most players but especially Megan it really makes a difference when she can get that Potter heated up beautiful view we had of that stroke this one back

Uphill just look like she pushed that Karen she’s got 137 yards to the hole she has an atar out very similar to her first hole of the day the 10th trying to work this one to the right towards the hole Lucy Lee did save her bogey after

That tough break at the 15th this is to rejoin the lead that would be a great bounce back but never got it high enough still lots of golf left to play and like what we’re seeing so far this season from Lucy Lee I actually did hit this fway today I

Was quite proud of myself but oh this looks like an absolute Beauty if it’s yeah that’s a great shot see perfect position a taking advantage of that little bit of luck nearly a kick in birdie back on the 13th hole Georgia Hall needs to get things going get this

Putter working this one down the hill moving right to left and looks like she’s judged the speed very well here perfect from [Applause] Georgia Mel shows up Tom and Georgia starts pouring him in all right that’s 17 par five Lucy Lee as we’ve seen Lucy a prim example

You can get some unlucky bounces on this golf course yeah obviously it’s lifechanging isn’t it I mean he’s he’s awesome but it’s a lot how old is K now two and a half months yeah so that’s full on it’s pretty full on with you on the road or

Not he is yeah I wouldn’t do it otherwise I’d miss them too much so um luckily Carly isn’t quite working back to work yet so she’s kind of taking full care of him right now so 13 the second from Megan Kang and she has 136 the wind is off that

Left this is a good looking strike it’s a little bit left of the hole looking for a kick on the green yeah that would set up nicely to her eye playing a little bit back in her STS making sure of clean contact lower ball flat because of that ball

Position okay so coina that’s the key right a very positive here and I thinkone having a really good [Applause] time just in the rough here but rough is not thick at all here at Bron Country Club right now yeah it’s a pretty good spot here to be honest looks like

Another good line it looks like it’s on a great line needs to get a bit yeah this is going to be absolutely perfect that’s a great gol shot there I two holes in a row yeah two holes in a row Mel she has gotten spectacularly lucky off the tea

And really taking advantage of it this looks pretty good as well in a good line yeah this is also a great golf shot that’s a fantastic golf shot that’s going to be really good one off the Le she’s found the Fairway bunker at the 18th the front hall location is

Accessible from that bunker today nicely done okay so Lucy will have a chance to tie the lead he’ll be smiling if this one goes in he’ll be back to back bird is from very short range oh my goodness caught a lot of the hole seen a few puts

Do that catch a lot of the hole and just lip out it’s it’s weird I think it’s just because of the grain but should be a little bit disappointed with that one this is Germany’s Olivia Cowan a moment ago for Eagle at 17 flirting with the cut

Line oh you heard the whistle and and here the cheer Olivia chugging along here with an eagle after the birdie at 11 Here’s Lucy with a comebacker for par her best chance to win an LPGA actually was before she joined the LPGA Tour was uh back there in September of

22 so essentially what is means is that the heel of the club is going to hit into the ground and try and turn the face over so she’s gripping down the trying to maneuver something get it Chase up maybe oh that was brilliant Caren wow that was fabulous you could see how far

She choked up on that club was way down on the metal part of the shaft she I mean she’s such a good ball Striker again this is looking right the FL just left of it perfect is it the right Club oh yeah perfect great shot again just Fearless the way that she’s

Playing you still have to play this quite positively I don’t think you want to really give too much the hall away here her kind of grass her kind of conditions Morgan just feeling very much at home and she literally is not far away I think one of the keys to playing

This golf course world is being aggressive to these flags because just like this okay that’s aggressive tapping bird is a fun just an absolutely marvelous t- shot set up and easy Birdie on a tough par three just golf clubs no microphone today for Marina Alex she plays the 18th her ninth

Of the day like Mel Reed she joined us in the broadcast with Tom I have to say and M and Marina have played pretty well consider maybe we inspired them in some fashion yeah left it below the hole so she’s got a nice chance up the hill

The tiny bit of movement from right to left and it looks like she’s got the pace just right there mhm she’s got 146 looks but she’s going for a more flighted shop BS just a little bit back in her stance here good climber fing towards the hall oh that looked good in here

Too when she won a couple of years ago at Palace birdie she said I didn’t think I would be here again in the Winter Sur thanks so solid with this club yesterday Karen yeah she was I love how she holds that follow through oh oh needed one more little

Revolution there graen pulled it at the very end we talk about her putting yesterday we showed earlier the stat 127 ft of putt she made yesterday back in with China’s shiu Lyn her ninth hole of the day the 18th of the Season at 18 Cheyenne Knight the last two holes on this golf

Course playing the easiest today this front hole location on 18 is the reason why very accessible giving up a lot of birdies today Georgia was putting when that air horn went off and she backed away but she did make her birdie putt here and Seline just TAPS in for her

Birdie well and this is a good play because it means she can take the left break out and just deal with the right break just released it just a little bit more than she would have liked she has struggle hasn’t she trying to find the speed today at 18 boutier

Yeah with the wedge trying to leave it below the hole I think this has to be moving a little left there you go a really solid stroke she’s been going back and forth a little bit between leftand low and conventional putting was putting with a conventional

Grip towards the end of last year at 18 Megan Kang from only 136 downwind that front hole location there’s a little back stop that will help the ball to stop oh nearly stopped in the hole want a major as well wed 117 [Applause] FaZe Nelly whatsoever out here so far this

Week for Birdie on her ninth Hole now you see her caddy Jason there when I talked to him at Grant Thorton just what six weeks ago he said I really think Nelly is poised for a big year her game is just in the right place
