"The conditions are tough out there, as they haven't been cutting the rough," said Kim. "The greens are very tricky. With this course there's almost a sense that you always want to hold back because if I really rip, I could hit it five feet over the hole and have 10 feet coming back. I think people aren't attacking as much as they could be."

Mi Hyun Kim and Michele Redman share seventh place at 210. Jeong Jang and Grace Park are one stroke further back. Hee-Won Han is 11th at even-par 213.
