Amy Yang was alone in second at 67 while Inbee Park, So Yeon Ryu and Anna Nordqvist shared third place at 68. Park is currently the tour's top-ranked player with six wins to her credit this year. Michelle Wie and Jenny Shin both shot a 69 to tie for sixth while Suzanne Pettersen was among those at 70. Defending champion Cristie Kerr struggled to a 77 and was in last place in the 36-player field.
