Nelly Korda looks to be back to her dominant best at the home of golf. The top-ranked American mastered more blustery conditions at St.

Andrews by shooting a bogey-free, 4-under 68 in the second round on Friday to take a three-stroke lead at the Women's British Open.

Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont., missed the cut after a second round of 76 left her at 9 over through two rounds. Worse for Korda's rivals is that she is warming to links golf, too. "This year in general, I've won on just so many different types of grasses, in different types of conditions, that you just kind of always have to adapt," said Korda, who was 8-under par for the tournament. "That's the same thing in tennis, same thing in life. "You're always adapting to your situations at hand, and I think that's what's so fun about links golf — you're literally starting it 30 yards left of your target, and I'm not a fade player but I'm hitting massive fades.

I think it's fun hitting these little low drivers, too. I'm having fun, and I enjoy links golf a lot." Squeaky clean with a three stroke lead
