Jin Young Ko sits atop the leaderboard at -8 after the first two rounds of the Cambia Portland Classic.
The No. 2 ranked Ko recorded six birdies and one bogey, shooting a 5-under 67 on Friday to secure the lead. She now holds a one-stroke advantage over Gemma Dryburgh heading into Round 3 at the Oregon Golf Club.
“I did a great job first two rounds and this course is not easy, so fairways and greens are really narrow so I had to focus on my shot,” said Ko.
