Linn Grant and Grace Kim are in a thrilling battle for the top spot at The Annika, a prestigious golf tournament held at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida. After two impressive rounds, both Grant and Kim have taken the lead with a score of 9-under 131. Grant, a Swedish golfer, shot a stunning 7-under-par 63, while Kim, an Australian golfer, maintained her momentum with a 66. They are now one shot ahead of Jennifer Kupcho and Haeran Ryu, who are tied for third place. Grant's impressive round was marked by a remarkable comeback, as she started her second round with a bogey but went on to score eight birdies in a row. The 24-year-old golfer has been inspired by Annika Sorenstam, the legendary Swedish golfer for whom this tournament is named. 'I have been playing in Annika's events since I was 14, and she has been a huge inspiration for me,' Grant said. 'She's not only an incredible golfer but also a generous person who gives back to the community.' Meanwhile, Kim is in great position to win her third LPGA title, having captured her first major at the Evian Championship in July. 'I just kept my momentum going and focused on hitting fairways and making putts,' Kim said. Nelly Korda, the World No. 2, is also making a strong comeback after a neck injury forced her to take a break. She shot a bogey-free round and even caught the attention of basketball legend LeBron James, who tweeted about her impressive birdie putt. The tournament continues to be a thrilling competition, with many notable golfers struggling to make the cut. The field will be narrowed down further on Saturday, and fans can expect an exciting showdown for the top spot.
