CHANDLER, Ariz. -- Lilia Vu didn't feel her best on the range. She made up for that on the golf course Friday with an 8-under 64, giving her a two-shot lead over a group that includes Nelly Korda and Jeeno Thitikul in a Ford Championship packed with LPGA stars.
Korda and Thitikul, the Nos. 1 and 2 players in the women's world ranking, were grouped together in the morning and put on quite a show at Whirlwind Golf Club.
Thitikul had a birdie-birdie-eagle-birdie start and was 6 under through six holes. She shot 29 on her opening nine, with Korda at 31.
