Alison Lee, Ruoning Yin surge atop Riviera leaderboard after 2 rounds at U.S. Women's Open
Lee and Yin each shot 68 or better as the 81st U.S. Women's Open stayed tightly bunched behind them.
- On Friday, former UCLA golfer Alison Lee seized a share of the lead at the 81st U.S. Women's Open at Riviera, joining Ruoning Yin at 4-under 138 after shooting a second-round 68.
- The 100-year-old Riviera country club is hosting its first U.S. Women's Open, where only two players managed bogey-free rounds Friday, demonstrating the course's unforgiving difficulty.
- Nelly Korda shot Friday's lowest round of 67 to move within two shots, while Jennifer Kupcho, Sei Young Kim, and Gaby Lopez sit in a group at 3-under 139.
- Playing in her native Los Angeles area, 31-year-old Lee contends after taking most of last year off for the birth of her son, Levi, and overcoming career frustration.
- Yin carded her second straight 69, semi-jokingly calling Riviera 'passive aggressive,' as she seeks to build on her first LPGA Tour victory earned in 2023.
