Aditi Ashok managed to pass the cut line at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship despite three bogeys in the second round. Ranked at 64th, she aims to improve over the weekend. Sarah Schmelzel shares the lead with Amy Yang, both at 6-under 138 after remarkable performances.

Aditi Ashok has successfully navigated past the cut line at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship despite facing three bogeys in her second round. Playing her 30th Major in women's golf, Ashok totaled 5-over 149 after a first round score of even par 72 at Sahalee Country Club.

Currently tied at 64th, Ashok is right on the cut line and aims to make significant strides over the weekend ahead of her third Olympics appearance in Paris this August.

Meanwhile, Sarah Schmelzel, who had struggled with her form following four top-10 finishes earlier this year, seems to have found her rhythm. Schmelzel shot a tournament-best 5-under-par 67 in the second round, sharing the lead with Amy Yang. They both stand at 6-under 138, two strokes ahead of first-round leader Lexi Thompson and others.

Schmelzel finished her round strongly with two consecutive birdies, maintaining her focus even after seeing her name at the top of the leaderboard before the 18th hole.
