Overnight leader Sung Hyun Park is tied at the top of the leaderboard with Brooke Henderson and So Yeon Ryu at 6-under.

Lydia Ko shot a 6-under 66 to put herself back in contention in T5 after an opening day 74.

''Straight out of the gate, I was able to make a birdie on the first, and that gave me the confidence to say, 'Hey, you can make a birdie around this golf course,''' Ko said. ''I played solid. I know I missed a few fairways, but I tried to put myself in good positions.''

Ko's confidence was helped by her win at the LPGA MEDIHEAL Championship in April, her 15th win but the first in two year for the former No.1.

She finished third at the Meijer LPGA and T9 last week in Arkansas.

''I think I had a bit of confidence coming into this week because of the two top-10 finishes these couple weeks, and I felt like I was driving it pretty good and rolling it good,'' Ko said.

''And I was able to do one of the two things (Thursday) and one of the two today, so hopefully I'll be able to put it a bit more together over the weekend. But I think confidence is a huge thing for me, where the swing itself is not too different.``

''If I'm out there playing with confidence, I'm just able to execute the shots a little better.''
