Script:

In Pittsford, New York, the Monroe Golf Club was the scene for the second round of the LPGA Championship on Friday.

Teen sensation Lydia Ko is four shots off the pace after a 69 alongside Meena Lee and late finisher Jane Park. The Kiwi is aiming to follow up her second title of the year at the Marathon Classic in Ohio.

Overnight leader Lexi Thompson sank three birdies and three bogeys in a level-par 72 as the Kraft Nabisco champion slipped to second place.

The 19-year-old American sits alongside defending champion Inbee Park, who recovered from a poor show on Thursday. The Korean star picked up four shots in her first six holes and after a bogey at the eighth, made three more birdies to close with a 66.

But today's headlines belong to American Brittany Lincicome.

The Solheim Cup player stormed into a three-shot lead as the 28-year-old added a four-under 68 to her opening 67 and eased away from the field.
