2024 Olympics women's golf leaderboard: Lydia Ko eyes history, trio of Americans hanging tough after Round 2

Nelly Korda, Rose Zhang and Lilia Vu are in the top 15 at the halfway point at Le Golf National

Lydia Ko has been the most consistent Olympic golfer of the last 120 years.

That is undeniably true -- although the reason it is undeniably true is because golf didn't exist at the Olympics after the 1904 edition until it was reintroduced in 2016. In Rio that year, Ko won the silver medal. Five years later, she won the bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. 

Now, she sits three back of the lead at the halfway point of the women's golf competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics after shooting a 5-under 67 in the second round, the fourth-best round of the day. The New Zealander trails Morgane Metraux of Switzerland by three and Ruoning Yin of China by two.
