In Gee Chun shot a three-under-par 68 in the second round of the U.S. Women's Open at Riviera Country Club, sharing the lead with Jennifer Kupcho and Hinako Shibuno. Chun, nicknamed 'Dumbo,' is vying for her fourth major title and aims to remain focused according to her stated game plan. Kupcho, who led after the first round, fell back with a 73, while LPGA legend Michelle Wie West did not advance after a pair of subpar rounds.
