The second round of the Paris 2024 Olympic Women's Golf Championship came to a close on Thursday amid intense competition from many of the biggest names in women's golf, and when the action was over, one player unexpectedly topped the leaderboard.

Morgan Metro of Switzerland started the third round with a six-under 66 to take a one-stroke lead and finished at eight under.The Swiss golfer, ranked 137th in the world going into the Olympics, was 10 under after shooting a stunning 28 on the front nine, with four birdies and two eagles.

World No. 1 Nelly Korda of the United States moved up to silver on the back nine but she spoiled an otherwise strong performance with a quadruple bogey on the 16th and a three-putt bogey on the 17th to tie with fellow American Ross Zhang at 2 under.

Yin Ruoning missed the start of the 2024 season with a wrist injury that is still affecting her.In fact, the Chinese golfer decided to skip the Amond Di Evian Championship to make up for lost time with a strong performance at the Paris Olympics.

Entering the second half of the women's golf tournament, the second round was very different, with Yin catching three consecutive birdies in the first three holes. Then she caught a birdie on the seventh hole and finished the first nine holes at 4 under par.Yin added three more birdies on the back nine (11th, 14th, 18th) to finish the round at 7 under. Yin achieved her goal and finished second, one stroke behind leader Morgan Metro.

Lydia Ko is the most consistent Olympic golfer of the past 120 years. That’s an undeniable fact, though it’s made all the more undeniable by the fact that golf didn’t appear in the Olympics after the 1904 games until it was reintroduced in 2016. Ko won the silver medal in Rio that year.Five years later, she won a bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Now, midway through the women’s golf tournament at the 2024 Paris Olympics, she shot a 5-under 67 in the second round,to move three shots behind the leader.The New Zealander finished three shots behind Switzerland's Morgane Metraux and two behind China's Yin Ruoning.
