JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – All eyes were on Nelly Korda and Lizette Salas, who battled for birdies back and forth on Saturday at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

Salas opened with a 35-foot birdie putt on No. 1 and Korda drained her 8-footer in response. On the par-5 second, Korda two-putted for birdie and Salas stiffed her wedge close and knocked in the 3-footer to match.

“Lizette was rolling in some nice ones today, and I told myself, I've got to hit it close to even keep up with her,” said Korda, following her round.
