South Korea 's Kim Sei-young spectacularly eagled the par-five 18th to surge into a two-shot lead in the second round of the ANA Inspiration on Friday as Lydia Ko 's record-equalling run came to an end . The 22-year-old Kim , who won her maiden LPGA Tour title at the Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic in February , struck a superb second shot to six feet on her final hole and knocked in the putt to card a seven-under-par 65 at Mission Hills Country Club . That left the Korean at seven-under 137 in the first women 's major of the season , two ahead of overnight leader Morgan Pressel , who followed her opening 67 with a 72 . Lydia Ko looks for her ball in the water on the 18th hole during the second round . Long-hitting American Brittany Lincicome , the 2009 champion at Mission Hills , fired a 68 to finish at four under , level with Korean Jenny Shin ( 69 ) and Scotland 's Catriona Matthew ( 69 ) . Kim , who had returned a 72 in the first round , birdied four of her first nine holes to claw her way up the leaderboard . She picked up further shots at the 11th and 15th before making her only bogey of the day at the 16th , then ended her round in eagle style . ' I really hit the ball good and putted really good , ' said Kim , who is playing in only her third major championship . ' I 'm very happy . 'Yesterday I adjust a little bit my putting ... now I see the line better . ' Ko missed out on recording her 30th successive under-par round . Pressel , who at 18 became the youngest winner of a women 's major at the 2007 Kraft Nabisco Championship held at Mission Hills , was a frustrated figure after shooting a level-par 72 . ' I had to fight a little bit harder today , ' said the 26-year-old American . 'My swing was n't quite as sharp as it was yesterday . I made some sloppy bogeys and some really good pars . But I give myself a chance for the weekend . ' Ko 's record-equalling run of 29 consecutive rounds under par on the LPGA Tour came to end when the world No 1 bogeyed two of her last four holes for a 73 and a level-par total of 144 . The 17-year-old , who has already won six LPGA titles , had a chance to dip under par after hitting a perfect tee shot down the 18th but her attempt to lay up with a six-iron failed as her ball ran through the fairway into a pond in front of the green . Sei Young Kim of South Korea has a two-shot lead at the halfway point . Penalised a stroke , she hit her fourth shot to 12 feet above the hole from where she two-putted for a bogey six . 'It was 169 ( yards ) to the end of the fairway and it was still 20 yards after that with the rough so I thought a six-iron would be okay , even it flew out of there , ' Ko told Golf Channel . 'Obviously it was n't the right club . I would love to have had a birdie opportunity there . ' However , Ko was happy enough to have matched Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam 's record run of 29 consecutive sub-par rounds . 'You just go out there , try and have fun , try to shoot the lowest you can , ' said the pony-tailed New Zealander . 'Now it 's over but 29 is not too bad . '
Lydia Ko is one shots behind leader Kim Sei-young . Ko had been aiming for a 30th consecutive under-par round . But the world No 1 could only finish on seven-over par .
