The 2024 KPMG Women's PGA Championship is currently underway at the Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, Washington. The tournament is LPGA's third Major of the year with 156 members on the field at the start of the tournament.
Only 73 players made Friday's cutline of 5-over 179 after 36 holes. The winner of the tournament will receive $1.56 million of the total prize purse of $10.4 million.
Sarah Schmelzel and Amy Gang are on the top of the leaderboard at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship after the first two rounds. Schmelzel shot a score of 71 on Day 1 and a 67 on Day 2 while Gang carded 70 and 68 in the first two rounds. Jim Young Ko, Hinako Shibuno and Lexi Thompson currently sit in joint third place with an overall score of -4, two strokes behind Schmelzel and Gang.
While talking about her performance, Schmelzel said on the second day (via LPGA Tour):
"Just staying really patient out there and aggressive off the tee was kind of our game plan this week. I drove (the ball) really well, so fortunately able to take advantage of having some shorter irons in today."
Nelly Korda has failed to make the cut in the third consecutive competition this year. She missed the cutline by one stroke after a fiery 69 in the first round. She scored a dismal 81 in the second round.
