Ryu shoots 67 for LPGA lead

So Yeon Ryu birdied all five par-5 holes in a 5-under 67 to take the second-round lead Friday in the Meijer LPGA Classic outside Grand Rapids, Mich.

The sixth-ranked South Korean played her final nine holes, the front nine at Blythefield Country Club, in 5-under 31 to top the leaderboard at 13-under 131. She rallied after making three bogeys in a five-hole stretch on her first nine.

“No matter I made it or not, I feel like my (putting) stroke is really great and my rhythm’s really great,” Ryu said. “I really want to keep this tempo and rhythm. And I just need to keep working on some tee shots.”

Ryu is winless this season after taking the major ANA Inspiration and Walmart NW Arkansas Championship last year. She has five tour victories, the first coming at the 2011 U.S. Women’s Open.

Sandra Gal and Sakura Yokomine shot 64 to reach 12 under.

Among other notables, Michelle Wie and Lydia Ko were 8 under, each shooting 67. Lexi Thompson, the 2015 winner, had a 70 to get to 6 under.
