I\u2019m so excited to play last two more days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">\u201cThe remaining two days will obviously be nerve-racking, but being nervous is human nature, and I think I want to embrace that and focus on what I can in my shots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">South Korea\u2019s Ryu Hae-ran fired eight birdies in a superb eight-under 64 to charge into a group of four players sharing second on seven-under 137.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">World No. 1 Korda, seeking to become just the third LPGA player to win the first three Majors of the season after her victories in the Chevron Championship and US Women\u2019s Open, posted a four-under 68 and was tied on six-under 138 with South Korean Lee Dong-eun, who signed for a 69.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Yoon added that she tried not to look at the leaderboard as she opened the round with a two-shot lead. Four birdies in the first eight holes stretched her lead to as many as seven, but she slowed coming in with two bogeys and one birdie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The 23-year-old is thriving in her second year on the LPGA tour after serving a suspension on the KLPGA circuit for playing the wrong ball at the 2022 Korea Women\u2019s Open and failing to declare it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Ryu, the 2023 LPGA Rookie of the Year and a three-time winner on the tour, was delighted with her \u201camazing\u201d round, which featured four birdies on each side and a dazzling display on the greens, including birdie putts of 23 feet at the third and 18 feet at the fourth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">She was joined on seven-under by fellow South Korean Kim A-lim, Canadian Brooke Henderson, and Japan\u2019s Nasa Hataoka.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Korda, who trailed by seven after the first round of the US Women\u2019s Open and went on to win, had four birdies in her first nine holes but developed \u201ca case of the hooks\u201d coming in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">She said of her chase to Yoon: \u201cI\u2019m just going to focus on, as boring as it is, one shot at a time and see where that takes me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">\u201cIt\u2019s just golf. It\u2019s funny right?
