Woad finds pre-major form to close on LPGA Tour lead

England’s Lottie Woad found a timely form boost ahead of the next women's major by moving within a shot of the halfway lead at the Meijer LPGA Classic.

Woad followed an opening-round 69 with a brilliant bogey-free 66 at Blythefield Country Club, carding six birdies to jump to nine under and in touch with leader Jing Yan.
