Lauren Coughlin played her bogey free round with six birdies to lead The Chevron Championship from the morning wave. Nelly Korda also had six birdies, but two bogeys on the second and 10th limited her from catching the leader.
Marina Alex and Minami Katsu tied with Korda for second place at the event. Both carded rounds of five birdies and one bogey.
Among the players in fifth place is Lydia Ko, who is looking for the last point at The Chevron Championship to earn the exhalation to the LPGA Hall of Fame. She is joined in that group by rising star Gaby Ruffels, who has been flirting with victory during her last few outings.
During the round, defending champion and former world number one Lilia Vu and American Solheim Cup team member Angel Yin withdrew due to injury.
