Full leaderboard<\/a><\/p>\n

World number one Nelly Korda surged into contention for a first US Women’s Open title with a second round of 67 at Erin Hills.<\/b><\/p>\n

Two-time major winner Korda, 26, had seven birdies and two bogeys as she moved from level par at the start of play to five under.<\/p>\n

The American trails Mao Saigo by three shots after the 23-year-old Japanese player took the outright lead with a best-of-the-day 66.<\/p>\n

Korda features among a group of six players tied in second, including compatriots Sarah Schmelzel and Yealimi Noh, Japan’s Hinako Shibuno, South Korea’s Kim A-lim and Sweden’s Maja Stark.<\/p>\n

British players Charley Hull, Gemma Dryburgh and Lottie Woad sat four shots off the lead after round one, on level par, but they experienced mixed fortunes on Friday.<\/p>\n

Dryburgh had the best of it among the contingent, with a round of 69 putting the Scot in a tie for 12th on three under par.<\/p>\n

English amateur Woad had a two-under 70, while Hull, who tied for second at this tournament two years ago, was set to make the cut with nothing to spare after a 73 – with a handful of players left to complete their rounds on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Ireland’s Leona Maguire was certain to miss out on the weekend’s action after adding a 72 to her opening 76. Three birdies in her opening seven holes on Friday were wiped out by a triple bogey seven at the 11th.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
