Jennifer Song and Danielle Kang shot 7-under 65s to take the lead of the LPGA Drive On Championship - Reynolds Lake Oconee in Georgia.
Kang is the only player to have won twice this season and has been hard at work on the greens.
“Recently just like my friends have been helping me out with my putting and I saw another putting coach, so I think having putts drop for me just kept me going and kept the good feel -- I don't know,” said Kang. “I'm trying. I'm trying.”
Song's front nine 31 ties her season-best nine hole score, only marred by one bogey on the fifth hole.

“I feel great. This course is really tough and in the afternoon the greens got really crusty, so there was a lot of calculation. The wind picked up a little bit so it was kind of confusing, but I managed it pretty well. I'm really happy about 7-under par today. I didn't think that was possible to shoot that score out there, but I had a great round.”
In third place at 6-under is Ally McDonald, who has had two T13 finished in her last Tour events and carded six birdies in Greensboro.
“I mean, overall I've been playing really solid. I feel like I drive the ball well. I rely heavily on my ball striking. And then today I was just able to get some putts to fall, which is -- that's good to see. It's what I been working the most on, just trying to see the ball go in the hole. I feel like I've been hitting really good putts but they just haven't been going in. That helps when you hit the ball close, which my ball-strike was probably one of the best days I've had this year.”
Two-time major champion Ariya Jutanugarn hit the water and bogeyed her last hole but still shot 5-under to tie for fourth place with Lindsey Weaver.
Her 67 was her lowest 18-hole score since her 66 at the 2019 CME Group Tour Championship.
“I would say I love here. Like the weather is like perfect to play golf the golf course is like the most beautiful I ever see. Just have to the thank the LPGA put everything together and have chance to come here. Soon as we got here we rent a house and my sister say, I think we should move here. They love here to much. When I play around this nice golf course just make me so joy, so happy, and can't be better.”
"We have to make sure that our daughters and sons have a better experience entering golf than we had. That's why we #DriveOn."
