Yen Ting Wong (Singapore) also started strong with a birdie on her second hole of the day, but three bogeys equaled a first round 74 (+2), followed by a second round score of 75 (+3) for a 36-hole total of 149 (+5), good enough for a tie for 17th place. Dorsey Addicks (Big Sky, Mont.) shot back-to-back rounds of 76 (+4) to finish the day in a tie for 29th place at 152 (+8).
Jamie Huo (Kent, Wash.) earned three birdies over her first eight holes of the day, but a double-bogey on her ninth hole started a rough stretch, as four bogeys over the next nine holes resulted in an opening round 75 (+3), and then she shot 78 (+6) in the second round despite making an eagle on the par-five eighth hole to end the day in a tie for 31st place at 153 (+9).
