Ueda admitted that she struggled to get into the round after playing well enough to take the lead.
Ueda stated that “I wasn’t in a good mood during the first five holes.” “Ai (Suzuki), Sakura (Koiwai), made great putts during that period and played well. So I tried to catch up and not think too conservatively.
Ueda had five consecutive pars, before she made a birdie at the sixth. Although she had a bogey on her ninth, her scorecard on the back nine was vibrant. Four birdies were made on Nos. 10, 13, 14, and 17 were her birdies. She also had one bogey, which allowed her to shoot 3-under-69 in the second round.

No. 1 in the world After a Friday 5-under 67, 1 Atthaya Thitikul is tied for eighth at 6 Under.
Thitikul stated, “I had a really great round today.” “A lot more than yesterday. However, I feel I need to improve my driver and tee shot because it isn’t good enough for these narrow fairways.
