Lee leads after record round
“That’s why it happened today”.

Ko is going for her third major championship in the last four played.
Yang had an up-and-down first nine herself with two bogeys and three birdies, but she managed to improve her tournament position by one stroke to 7-under. She made a 20-foot birdie putt on the third hole but gave it back with a bogey on the ninth and made the turn at even par.
Sung Hyun Park and Amy Yang, both of Korea, have pulled into a tie for the lead at the U.S. Women’s Open at CordeValle.
Jin, an incoming freshman at the University of Southern California, moved into first place with a two-day total of 8-under (69-67).
World number one Lydia Ko will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the U.S. Women’s Open.
Kerr relished playing the opening round with the pacesetting Lee.
She also bogeyed her final hole of the day and is three strokes back of the lead. I had a seat but there was no point in having one because you were jumping up and down the whole time. “All I can do is try and control my own job, and try to go out and play smart but aggressively”. She is looking for her first LPGA Tour win since winning the Open at Saucon Valley seven years ago.
She finished runner-up at the most recent major, the Women’s PGA Championship, when she lost in a play-off to Canadian Brooke Henderson. “I definitely do get nervous, but I think that’s part of it”, Ko said. “You need to stay patient”.
Henderson’s ball striking hasn’t been up to her normal standards lately which is saying something given she is coming off a successful defence of her Cambia Portland Classic title on the weekend. She missed the fairway with her drive on the par-4 10th and her approach shot sailed past the green.
Park is sitting at 6-under for the day through 15 holes. Thirty-seven LPGA events have been won by teenagers, with Ko accounting for 13. Defending champion: In Gee Chun.
New Zealander Lydia Ko fired a two-under 70 at the U.S. Women’s Open to move into the outright lead.
She held a share of the lead before a bogey at 17, but said she couldn’t be disappointed with her one-over effort.
Nowhere was that player-caddie relationship more important than on hole No. 18, when Ji got up and down for a par after landing in the rough.
Sharp will tee off at 11:42 a.m. ET off the first tee with Minjee Lee of Australia and Pernilla Lindberg of Sweden; Leblanc is off at 11:30 a.m., with Gwladys Nocera of France and American Christina Kim.
“It would be a tournament that I would love to win”, she said.
“It’s so windy out there, it wasn’t easy”, said Yang, who has four top-5 finishes in the past six years at the tournament.
In particular, three long putts – hard-breaking 25-footers for birdie on Nos. “I don’t think the USGA likes when we shoot 8-under on their golf course”.
Ko came from behind this year to win ANA Inspiration and last year to win the Evian Championship, her two major titles. She gets back to what she’s doing, and she executes. He leads Glen Day (Little Rock), Bart Bryant, and John Riegger, who were tied for second at 66.
Gibby Gilbert III, Kevin Sutherland, Paul Goydos and Joe Durant were another shot back in a tie for fifth.
