The KPMG Women's PGA Championship is off to an interesting start. For starters, Baltusrol's Lower Course, at a whopping 6,575 yards for Friday's second round, is no easy task. Secondly, the weather has been rainy and chilly. The final piece: Many big names such as Nelly Korda, Lydia Ko, Lexi Thompson, Stacy Lewis, Sei Young Kim, Maja Stark and Georgia Hall are all expected to miss the cut.

With Korda and Lydia Ko, world Nos. 2 and 3, respectively, likely heading home early, a door has been opened for Jin Young Ko to break a longstanding record.

Lorena Ochoa holds the record for most weeks at world No.
