Arpichaya Yubol cards second straight 66 to take lead in Portland
Arpichaya Yubol carries a one-shot lead over a trio of players into the weekend at Columbia-Edgewater Country Club after posting 66-66 over the first two days of the Standard Portland Classic.
PORTLAND, Oregon — Arpichaya Yubol, a Thai player, shot a second straight 6-under 66 to take the lead in The Standard Portland Classic on Friday at Columbia-Edgewater Country Club. Yubol credited her putter for the good day. Fellow Thai player Pajaree Anannarukarn was one stroke behind Yubol, while Sophia Schubert and Hye-Jin Choi were tied for second at 66.
Anannarukarn and Schubert shot 66, and Choi had a 67. The 24-year-old Yubol has been winless in her four seasons on the LPGA Tour. After birdieing the par-4 17th to reach 13 under, Yubol made a bogey on the par-4 18th, her first bogey of the tournament. She maintained, "It's golf, so it always happens. For me, 36 holes with just one bogey is amazing."
The third round of The Standard Portland Classic is underway at Columbia Edgewater Country Club. Other notable players include Haeran Ryu, who topped a large group at 9 under after a 68, and Lexi Thompson, who missed the cut after announcing her pregnancy.
