Thailand’s Atthaya Thitikul and South Korea’s Im Jin Hee hold a one-shot lead at the halfway stage of the Chevron Championship, the first women’s major of the season.

The pair lead American world number one Nelly Korda, who is bidding to win her fifth tournament in a row and second major title.

Korda had the clubhouse lead in Texas on seven under after a round of 69.

But late on, Thitikul and Im both shot 67s for eight-under totals.

Jodi Ewart Shadoff and Lottie Woad lead the English challenge on four under.

Korda, who began the day two shots behind leader Lauren Coughlin, had a dreadful start with a double bogey at her opening hole.
