Lydia Ko has put in another consistent performance to remain in the hunt halfway through the HSBC Women's World Championship in Singapore.

Ko notched a second round two-under-par 70 at Sentosa Golf Club, leaving her tied for 13th and five shots off American leader Amy Olson.

The Kiwi golfer started her tournament with an even-par opening round but started stronger today with birdies on the second and sixth before she settled in for 12-straight pars to score a blemish-free round.

Olson sits in the lead due to an eagle on the par-five eighth but there's a five-way tie in second on her tail: Inbee Park (69), Azahrara Munoz (68), Jodi Ewart Shadoff (70), top-ranked Ariya Jutanugarn (71) and No 3 Minjee Lee (71).
