Lydia Ko didn't realize she was in Vare Trophy hunt. When she did, she entered Pelican

Five days removed from her Ladies European Tour win at the Aramco Saudi Ladies International, Lydia Ko is now nearly 8,000 miles across the Atlantic with a shot at her second win in as many weeks.

But the former world No. 1 isn't showing any signs of jet lag. She's T-10, three shots off the lead at 7 under after 36 holes of the Pelican Women's Championship.

Sitting third on the Race to the CME Globe list, the 24-year-old was already assured a spot in next week's CME Tour Championship. However, in mid-October at the BMW Ladies Championship, where Ko finished T-3, she realized that she's still in the running for one of the LPGA's most prestigious awards, prompting her to enter the Pelican's field.
