Nelly Korda missed the cut at the Women\u2019s PGA Championship as Sarah Schmelzel and Amy Yang moved into the joint lead after the second round in Seattle.<\/b><\/p>\n
World number one Korda shot a nine-over par second-round 81 which included a double bogey, eight bogeys – four of which came on the first four holes – and one birdie.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old American, who won the first major of the season and was aiming for her seventh victory of the year, finished on six over par. <\/p>\n
“No words for how I’m playing right now,” said Korda, who was one shot off the lead in joint second following the first round.<\/p>\n
“I’m just going to go home and try to reset.<\/p>\n
“A lot went my way at the beginning part of the year, and just giving it back.”<\/p>\n
American Schmelzel carded a 67 and South Korea’s Yang a 68 in the second round at the Sahalee Country Club to move top of the leaderboard on six under par.<\/p>\n
Overnight leader Lexi Thompson is in joint third on four under after a 72, while Ireland’s Leona Maguire (71) is one shot further back.<\/p>\n
England’s Charley Hull carded a 73 and is on one under while compatriot Georgia Hall, on two over, was the only other Briton to make the cut with Northern Ireland’s Stephanie Meadow exiting on 11 over.<\/p>\n
Schmelzel, who has never won an LPGA event, hit the last of Friday’s six birdies on the last hole.<\/p>\n
“I kind of caught a glimpse of leaderboard on 17 and saw I was right around the lead,” she said.<\/p>\n
“It was just nice to be able to finish that well, too, knowing I was around the lead in a major.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
