SAN FRANCISCO: Jessica Korda fired six birdies in a five-under par 67 on Friday (Saturday in Manila) to seize a one-stroke lead over unheralded Annie Park in the LPGA Mediheal Championship. England’s Charley Hull carded a four-under par 68 at Lake Merced Golf Club for sole possession of third place on 137. Korda notched her fifth career victory at the LPGA Thailand in February as she returned to competition after jaw surgery that sidelined her for months. “It was a good day overall.”Park, is making her first start of 2018, having lost her LPGA card after battling debilitating back trouble. “I played really solid today, so it’s definitely nice to be able to put myself in better positions,” Ko said.
