The Annika: England’s Charley Hull leads by two shots at halfway point

Must read

England’s Charley Hull leads the LPGA’s Annika golf tournament in Florida by two shots after firing a four-under-par 66 in her second round.

Hull, 28, continued her fine recent form after claiming her first title in two years at the Aramco Team Series event in Riyadh at the start of November.

She followed up an opening round of 64 to move to 10 under at the halfway point, two ahead of the United States’ world number one Nelly Korda, who also shot a 66.

Korda is a three-time winner of the event, which is named in honour of Sweden’s 10-time major champion Annika Sorenstam.

American Alexa Pano, 20, moved into a four-way tie for third place on seven under after carding a 64 – the day’s lowest round at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair.

Pano joined South Korean pair Jin Hee Im and Mi Hyang Lee and Thailand’s Wichanee Meechai in the tie for third.
