Lauren Walsh Trails Korda and Do at Riviera Maya Open

Nelly Korda and Brianna Do share the lead at the Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba, both sitting at nine-under par following the second round of the LPGA Tour event in Mexico.

Korda reached the top of the leaderboard after recording a bogey-free 5-under 67 on Friday, May 1, 2026. Her round included birdies on two of the four par-5 holes at El Camaleon Golf Course. Korda closed her round with a birdie on the par-5 18th, utilizing a gap wedge from approximately 50 yards to a 4-foot putt.

Walsh Makes the Cut

Irish golfer Lauren Walsh has successfully made the cut to advance to the weekend. While Walsh remains in contention, she faces a significant gap to the leaders. As of May 2, 2026, she trails Korda and Do, who remain the pace-setters for the tournament.

The Riviera Maya Open, the LPGA Tour’s sole tournament in Mexico, is being contested at the El Camaleon Golf Course in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo. The event features a total prize purse of $2,500,000.

Korda’s current form continues to be a focal point of the tournament, following her recent appearances in high-profile events such as the Chevron Championship in April 2026.
