Korda surges two ahead at LPGA Malaysia

It took nearly a full season, but Jessica Korda is back on track.

The 22-year-old shot a Saturday 65 at the Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club, moving two shots ahead of the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia in the process.

Korda is at 12-under 201 through 54 holes, with Stacy Lewis and Ha Na Jang two back at 10-under 203.

The top spot shouldn't seem unfamiliar for Korda, a three-time LPGA Tour winner, except that she has suffered a disastrous 2015 campaign. After opening the season with a T-2, she hasn't recorded a top 10 since, missing eight cuts along the way.
