Yan Liu Leads Chevron Championship After Albatross

China's Yan Liu seized the lead at the Chevron Championship after making a rare albatross—a three-under-par on a single hole—on the par-5 eighth, using a seven-iron from 170 yards. Despite recording several bogeys, she finished with an even-par 72, bringing her to seven under for the tournament and one shot ahead of a group that includes Lindy Duncan, Sarah Schmelzel, Mao Saigo, and Hyo Joo Kim. Play was suspended due to darkness, leaving some players, such as Weiwei Zhang, with holes to complete. Defending champion Nelly Korda recovered from a poor first round with a strong 68, keeping her in contention. Liu, who is seeking her first major and LPGA win, acknowledged feeling pressure as she heads into the weekend with the lead. Adverse weather and delays have added to the tournament's challenges, but the competition remains tight heading into the next rounds.
