Linn Grant and Grace Kim Lead The Annika After Standout Rounds

BELLEAIR, Fla. – Linn Grant and Grace Kim share the lead at The Annika, after an exceptional day of play. Grant signed a card of 63 strokes, seven under par, while Kim achieved a 66. Grant, winner of the Dana Open in 2023, commented on her performance:

“Very, very solid. I hit some really good shots. Tee to green today was very good. I felt like I played similar yesterday, but I couldn’t make the putts, and today a lot of them went in.”

Kim, for her part, was satisfied with her game, highlighting her strategy on the field:

“I just kept my ‘mojo’. I just hit a lot of fairways and tried to make a lot of putts. It probably helped that I hit some closer today, making more easy birdies. I guess, I just stayed in my lane”.
