New Zealand's Lydia Ko shot a 5-under 67 in her second round for a share of the lead with England's Lottie Woad in the LPGA Tour's season-opening Tournament of Champions in Orlando, Florida.
Ko, the 2024 tournament winner and a Hilton Grand Vacations ambassador, is the lone player in the 39-woman field without a bogey after two days. The Hall of Famer has 23 LPGA Tour victories.

"I've had to hole some good par putts, but I really haven't put myself in that many difficult positions as of yet," said 28-year-old Ko.
"I think that's why I had the two bogey-free rounds. I'm hoping to kind of continue that good momentum this weekend."
Ko picked up shots on the eighth and ninth holes as well as 13, 14th and 15th.
Woad shot a 69 to match Ko at 8-under 136 in mostly sunny conditions.
Defending champion A Lim Kim was 6 under after her second 69. Youmin Hwang (67) and Ingrid Lindblad (69) also were 6 under.
Top-ranked Jeeno Thitikul and Kelly Korda were 5 under.
