American Mina Harigae shot 69 in Friday’s second round after carding five birdies and three bogeys. For the second time in her 13-year career she is in a prime major position heading in the weekend at the 2022 U.S. Women’s Open.

“Since it was the morning, fairways were a little softer, greens were a little softer, so my drives weren’t going as far and I had a little longer clubs in. The golf ball was able to hold better too, so it was alright out there.”

Seven-time LPGA Tour winner Minjee Lee joins her in the lead after carding a 66. Lee is aiming to become the third Australian U.S. Women’s Open champion, joining 1983 winner Jan Stephenson and two-time champion Karrie Webb, who won at Pine Needles in 2001.

“The golf course can really catch up to you quickly, so just trying to take whatever I have in front of me,” said Lee. “Whenever I have a birdie opportunity, I try to take advantage of that.”

LPGA Tour rookie Hye-Jin Choi, runner-up at the 2017 U.S. Women’s Open as a 17-year-old amateur, shot the round of the day with a 7-under 64, one stroke off the championship scoring record. She is tied for second alongside three-time major champion Anna Nordqvist at 7-under.

“I think that this U.S. Women’s Open fits me quite well and I think the course is excellent,” said Choi, a three-time KLPGA Tour Player of the Year before joining the LPGA Tour this year. “I had high expectations when I came here.”

Rolex Rankings No. 1 Jin Young Ko put herself in contention with a 13-foot eagle putt at the 15th, moving to 6-under overall and is in a tie for fifth with Swedish amateur Ingrid Lindblad.

“I had a great 3-wood to 20 meters from the second shot and I was aiming to the right of the TV tower,” said Ko of her eagle. “Ball goes straight there and I got eagle.”
