Mack and Borge shot 60 to reach 12-under 128, while Juli Inkster became the oldest player to make the cut in an official LPGA event.
- On Friday, Polly Mack and Celine Borge took a two-shot lead at the Dow Championship after posting a 60, reaching 12-under 128 and surpassing the Japanese duo of Ayaka Furue and Yuna Nishimura.
- Nelly Korda and Olivia Cowan of Germany sit two shots behind the leaders following a 60, with Korda driving much of the performance and Cowan stepping in for a 20-foot birdie putt on their final hole.
- Korda and Cowan remained relaxed during their round, with Cowan noting, "Nelly made a lot of putts today," and adding she felt compelled to sink the final birdie putt.

- Inkster, born 10 years after the LPGA was founded, said, "I'm happy I played." A victory this week would secure a two-year exemption on the LPGA tour for Cowan.
