PORTLAND, Ore. \u2014 Arpichaya Yubol of Thailand shot her second straight 6-under 66 to take the second-round lead Friday in The Standard Portland Classic at Columbia-Edgewater Country Club.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s pretty good day for my putter.\u201d Yubol said.<\/p>\n
Fellow Thai player Pajaree Anannarukarn was a stroke back with Sophia Schubert and Hye-Jin Choi. Anannarukarn and Schubert shot 66, and Choi had a 67 on the tree-lined course.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had five or six weeks off at home leading up to this, and I worked really hard,\u201d Schubert said. \u201cWorked on my putting because that\u2019s what I need to work on. It\u2019s just really been clicking, making putts.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old Yubol is winless in four seasons on the LPGA Tour. She finished second this year at Mayakoba and the ShopRite LPGA.<\/p>\n
After birdieing in the par-4 17th to get to 13 under, Yubol bogeyed the par-4 18th for her first bogey on the week.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s golf, so it always happens,\u201d Yubol said. \u201cFor me, 36 holes with just one bogey is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Haeran Ryu, the winner of consecutive majors this year at the KPMG Women\u2019s PGA and Evian Championship, topped a large group at 9 under. She shot 68.<\/p>\n
Lexi Thompson missed the cut with rounds of 73 and 72 after announcing that she\u2019s going to be a mother. Thompson posted Tuesday on Instagram a photo with husband Max Provost and photos of the sonogram of a girl due in February.<\/p>\n
First-round leader Mariel Galdiano followed her opening 65 with a 71 to drop into a tie for 12th at 8 under.<\/p>\n
Amateur Maria Jose Marin of Colombia, the Augusta National Women\u2019s Amateur champion who was tied for second after an opening 66, shot a 75 to make the cut on the number. She\u2019s preparing for her senior season at Arkansas, where she was the 2025 NCAA individual champion.<\/p>\n
