As we know, it only takes one day to shake up the leaderboard on the LPGA Tour, and after first-round leader Hyo Joo Kim followed up her impressive 61 with a one-over 72 on Friday, that's exactly what happened on Day 2 of the 2014 Evian Championship.

After her round, Lincicome spoke of her desire to notch a win during a press conference, via Kraig Kann of the LPGA Media:



Lincicome wasn't exactly rolling the ball well in Round 2, requiring 29 putts on the day—she needed just 25 on Thursday—but her ball-striking did improve, as she hit 10 of 13 fairways and 16 of 18 greens in regulation.
