But Buhai was one of three players on Saturday to finish without a bogey, memek and bokep a birdie on No. 17 moved bokeh her into the co-share of the lead.
“I’m happy with the way I played,” she said. “I stayed very patient out there. I think I managed the wind a little better. It wasn’t as tricky, but still gusted. But I think yesterday kind of helped us figure it out.
“But bogey-free, crot you’ve always got to be happy with that.”
Lee followed two birdies in the first 11 holes with bogeys on No. 12 and 13. A birdie at No. 15 sent her to the clubhouse at 12-under.
She is searching for her 10th LPGA Tour victory and could do it in South Korea, where her parents are from. She clearly sees room for improvement on Sunday.

“But, I mean, I finished with 1-under and kind of felt like I wasn’t really making too much of a move. But hopefully tomorrow I can string together a few more birdies.”

“I think it’s not a tournament until you play 72 holes. So I feel like, yeah, it’s good to put yourself in position, but there’s still so much that can happen. So I just honestly try to stay in the moment,” Boutier bokeh said. “I feel like it’s really no point in getting ahead of yourself too much, and I feel like especially like with the quality of the field and the fact that golf is also a game that’s a little bit unpredictable, it’s best to just be able to focus on what you can manage.”
