Yan had a bogey-free afternoon round to get to 10 under in
breezy conditions at Blythefield Country Club. The 30-year-old
American is winless on the LPGA Tour.
“I feel like I struck it pretty well the last two rounds,” Yan
said. “And I putted well, so that kind of adds up to birdies.”
Lottie Woad of England and Cassie Porter of Australia were a
stroke back. Woad shot 66, and Porter had a 68.
“Definitely challenging,” Woad said. “Wasn’t as windy as
yesterday, but definitely still there. So I think the pins were
maybe a little more tricky so just had to play smart to a few of
them.”
First-round leader Yan Liu of China was 8 under with Minji Kang
of South Korea. Liu had a 70, and Kang shot 68.
Two-time winner Brooke Henderson was 5 under, following an
opening 73 with a 66. Defending champion Carlota Ciganda was 3
under after a 69.
Second-ranked Jeeno Thitikul missed the cut, shooting 74-70.
University of Oregon star Kiara Romero also dropped out with
rounds of 72 and 73. She's the No. 1 amateur in the world and
was the low amateur at the U.S. Women’s Open, where she tied for
sixth.
