She carded seven birdies and a bogey on Friday, with five of her sub-par scores coming in her first nine holes.

“On No. 1 and 10 I had a tap-in birdie, and then that makes me easier to play golf.”

The 2019 AIG Women’s British Open winner from Japan is making her third appearance at Mission Hills Country Club. She is making her first start in a major championship as an LPGA Tour Member after qualifying through the 2021 LPGA Q-Series

She is playing in her fourth event this season and earned a top-eight finish at the Honda LPGA Thailand in March. This is the second time she’s led a major through 36 holes, the last time being at the 2020 U.S. Women’s Open presented by ProMedica.

“My game, golf game is not a lot different than I won 2019 British Open, but my personality is not different at all,” said Shibuno. “I’m swinging harder on the tee shot [at this course] and make more, you know, decent shot on the second shot. Yeah. The rough, it’s a power from the rough.”

Defending champion Patty Tavatanakit (69) of Thailand and Americans Jennifer Kupcho (70), who held the overnight lead, and Annie Park are all tied for second one shot back at 8-under. Park’s 67 is her lowest 18 holes since the 2021 ShopRite LPGA Classic, her second event back after taking a two-month break from golf, while Kupcho netted her fifth bogey-free round of the season.

“It’s just exciting to be here. This is our last time here, so it’s just special to be here. And all the history that’s been made here, really just go out and play my best,” said Kupcho. “I can’t control what anybody else is doing. Just try and keep myself calm.”

Tavatanakit’s T2 position is the best 36-hole showing by a defending champion at the Chevron Championship since 2011.She was one of only 10 people to birdie No. 17 on Friday in Rancho Mirage.

“I was just taking it one shot at a time and it ended up being a great shot and a great putt on 17,” said Tavatanakit. “I think it kind of got my momentum going knowing 18 was an up tee, so I know I had a chance to get another birdie.”
