CARLSBAD, Calif. – Nanna Koerstz Madsen shot a 5-under 67 on Friday to take a two-stroke lead in the JTBC Classic in a bid to win in consecutive starts.
Two weeks after breaking though in Thailand to become the LPGA Tour’s first Danish champion, Koerstz Madsen was back on top at Aviara Golf Club in the final event before the first major of the season next week at Mission Hills.
“I have confidence out there,” Koerstz Madsen said. “I’ve made a lot of good putts out there. Today, I hit love more fairways, which made me able to set up more birdie chances.
