INCHEON, South Korea (AP) — The United States enjoyed a perfect morning on the second day of the UL International Crown team golf tournament, comfortably winning both fourball matches against Thailand to move atop Pool B in the eight-nation tournament.
Jessica Korda and Michelle Wie bounced back from Thursday's defeat against Sweden to defeat Moriya Jutanugarn and Pornanong Phatlum 6 and 4. Cristie Kerr and Lexi Thompson made it two wins in two rounds with a 4 and 3 against Ariya Jutanugarn and Sherman Santiwiwatthanaphong.
The two victories at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea, 40 kilometers (25 miles) west of Seoul, gave the defending champions six points, ahead of Sweden with four. Japan and Thailand have three each.
