Wong got off to a hot start, picking up birdies on three of her first five holes to help her go 3 under early in her round. She used three more to get to 5 under after 15 holes before a late bogey brought her home with a 68. Chen's solid round had three birdies -- two of them on par-3 holes -- and 15 pars. She was 3 under after 12 holes before closing with six consecutive pars.

Lee had a bogey-free front nine while make her turn two shots in the red. Two bogeys evened her score but then birdies on the par-5 15th and 18th holes got her back under par for a round of 70. Vatananugulkit cut five strokes from her opening-round 79 thanks to a strong effort that featured 1-over scores on both the front and back nines. Lewis used eight pars and a birdie to make her turn 1 under before carding a 75 overall.
