England’s Georgia Hall is just four strokes off the lead while Nelly Korda moved inside the cut after two rounds of the Chevron Championship.
Hall followed her opening 69 with a 72 to sit four strokes off the lead, but Charley Hull dropped to four-over par, one behind Scotland’s Gemma Dryburgh.
The cut is projected to come at two-over with nine players still to finish their second rounds after thick fog delayed the start of play.
World No 1 Nelly Korda, the defending champion, moved inside the cut line with a 68 – nine strokes better than her opening round after changing her putter.
Yan Liu struck an albatross to offset three front-nine bogeys and rebounded from a late bogey for an even-par 72 and a one-stroke lead at the first women’s major tournament of the year.
Liu holed her second shot on the par five eighth. She said: “I take my seven-iron and I see the ball (went) in, so that’s a really cool thing. But I think (the TV crew doesn’t) have video for that hole.
“I think I jump twice on the fairway. Just very happy and so excited. Players in (my) group said congrats to me, so that’s very nice.”
Her only birdie of the day at the last gave her the lead on seven-under-par after four bogeys in a round of 72.
Yan Liu recorded a rare albatross in The Woodlands, Texas
She leads by one stroke from Americans Sarah Schmelzel and Lindy Duncan, who carded a best round of the day 66, Japan’s Mao Saigo and Hyo Joo Kim of South Korea.
The 27-year-old Liu, who has yet to win an LPGA event, admitted she will feel some pressure entering the weekend as the leader.
“I think definitely I will feel a little bit, because this – well, this is major,” she said. “I know the course going to be harder, harder, so I think just I just stay… patient, calm. Because I’m very emotional person, yes.”

On a warm June night in 2018, more than a dozen members of Canada’s 2018 World Junior hockey team bypassed a long line of waiting customers, had their IDs checked and were funneled into Jack’s Bar in London, Ont. They wore T-shirts and several wore backward baseball caps. Some gave others fist bumps, and one draped his arm around another’s shoulder.AdvertisementInside the bar, a group of the players gathered at a corner of a long counter, just beyond a packed dance floor, appearing to order drinks.Seven years later, five members of that team sat in a stuffy wood-paneled courtroom just a few blocks away from Jack’s, on trial for sexual assault.Michael McLeod, Carter Hart, Alex Formenton, Dillon Dubé and Cal Foote are all facing charges stemming from a June 2018 incident in which a 20-year-old woman alleged she was sexually […]

Denílson vê torcida sem paciência no Brasil: “Vaiam com 10 minutos”
Denílson, em discurso no Fechamento SporTV (Reprodução) Denílson, em análise envolvendo o Vasco, quis destacar uma situação atrelada à torcida do clube. Levando em conta que o último título de peso ocorreu em 2011, o ex-jogador vê os cruz-maltinos cada vez mais “calejados” com o clube. Neste cenário, embora o apoio em São Januário seja constante, Fábio Carille, demitido pela diretoria, sentiu de perto a forte pressão pela falta de um desempenho satisfatório. “O torcedor está desgastado com o Vasco. Eles são apaixonados e querem ver o clube jogando sempre bem. Eu não tô errado na minha leitura em relação ao sentimento do torcedor vascaíno, né? Eu assistindo de casa, o time é vaiado pelos torcedores no aquecimento.”, disse Denílson, no Fechamento SporTV.

Hradec přetáhl z Liberce kanadského obránce Melancona
„T.J. patří mezi prověřené a velmi kvalitní ofenzívní extraligové obránce a jsme přesvědčeni, že nám pomůže nahradit odcházející obránce a zlepšit produktivitu našeho mužstva, zejména v přesilových hrách. Jsme rádi, že i přes více extraligových nabídek si vybral právě náš klub,“ uvedl pro web Mountfieldu generální manažer Aleš Kmoníček.Melanconův bodový výkaz je velmi podobný s tím, který měl jeho krajan Blain. Jenže 33letý Blain letos vinou zranění odehrál jen devět zápasů a s Mountfieldem se rozloučil. Ani Melancon letošní ročník neodehrál kompletní, je ale o pět let mladší a ve 42 zápasech zaznamenal slušných 25 bodů (4+19).„Je v nejlepším hokejovém věku, skvěle zapadne do našeho herního systému. Věřím, že pomůže zlepšit produktivitu týmu, a to nejen na přesilovce,“ dodal kouč Hradce Králové Tomáš Martinec.Melancon si v extralize poprvé vyzkouší jiný celek než Liberec. Rodák z kanadské Oshawy předtím působil v Nových Zámcích na Slovensku, kam se přesunul z Ameriky. Za oceánem to dotáhl nejdál do AHL, kde […]
Uspěla na pekle severu, nyní chce Italka ovládnout orlovskou Gracii
Pro 26letou cyklistku bude závod Gracia Orlová, jenž startuje 1. května v Orlové na Karvinsku a po pěti etapách na stejném místě o čtyři dny později i skončí, prvním etapovým závodem letošní sezony. Na sever Moravy cestuje po senzačním druhém místě v závodě pro svou značnou obtížnost zvaném Peklo severu. Borghesiová z týmu EF Education-Oatly zaostala na francouzských silnicích za vítěznou Pauline Ferrandovou-Prévotovou o necelou minutu.„Klasika Paříž–Roubaix byla mým hlavním cílem sezony. Ten závod miluju a bylo neuvěřitelné stát na stupních vítězů. Je to brutální závod, jede se naplno od startu až do cíle, ale právě to mám ráda. Jsem moc šťastná, že jsem dokázala zaútočit v závěru a vydržela až do cíle,“ vrátila se k populárnímu jarnímu monumentu Borghesiová.České silnice, na nichž hned v úvodní etapě do Štramberka okusí i české dlažební kostky, otestuje poprvé v kariéře. „Slyšela jsem, že Gracia je to opravdu krásný závod, který nabízí různorodé profily etap, časovku a také nádhernou […]
