Chun In-gee finished tied for eighth at six-under, carding two eagles along the way.

Amy Yang had a six-under 65, including seven birdies and a bogey, and is tied for 17th, while Kim Sei-young, who finished the first round tied with Park, tumbled with a two-over par performance and sat tied for 22nd.
