Nelly Korda posted a four‑under 67 to climb into a tie for the lead at the US Women’s Open, while England’s Charley Hull carded a blistering 65 to surge up the leaderboard. Hull’s round moved her from mid‑field to second place, just one stroke behind the leaders. The 67 left Korda at -5, while Hull’s 65 dropped her to -7, the tournament’s low round overall.

These scores arrive in the second major of the season. Nelly Korda, who captured the Chevron Championship in April, seeks her first US Women’s Open victory in her 12th appearance after finishing joint runner‑up in 2025. She rebounded from a first‑round 73 with back‑to‑back 67s, saying she plays best when she stays relaxed. Her relaxed approach has paid dividends, putting her back in contention.

First‑round leader Jennifer Kupcho fell to a shot back, matching Korda and Hull at five under. In‑Gee Chun also sits one stroke behind. With three rounds completed, the tournament now features a three‑way tie for the top spot, setting up a tense final round on Sunday. Fans anticipate a dramatic showdown as the leaders navigate the challenging final‑day layout.
