Nelly Korda takes lead in Women's PGA Championship with record-tying round

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. -- Nelly Korda realized there were low scores available Friday at Atlanta Athletic Club. For the longest time, she couldn't find them in the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.

And then the birdies came in bushels, one after another, six straight to close her second round that put her in the record book with a 9-under 63 and gave her a one-shot lead over Lizette Salas going into the weekend.

"Golf is easy when you have days like this," Korda said. "But it's not always like this."

It sure seems that way of late.
