Bradenton's Jessica Korda fired a second consecutive 1-over 73, which places her in a tie for 31st in her LPGA Tour debut.

The rookie is playing the Honda LPGA Thailand, an invitational tournament.

Ritz-Carlton Members Golf Club honorary member Paula Creamer is also in the field.

Creamer, dubbed the Pink Panther, is in better shape than Korda.

Creamer carded a 70 in Friday's second round. She's tied for fourth, three strokes behind leader I.K. Kim.

Kim backed up with a 73 after blitzing the course with a 63 in Thursday's opening round.

Korda tees off at 9:36 a.m. (local time) for Saturday's third round.
