She ended a par streak with a downhill 12-footer for birdie on the par-4 16th.After the birdie on 17, she missed a chance on the par-5 18th when her low wedge approach skipped up a ridge and left her a downhill 20-footer that missed on the right edge.The 2012 U.S. Girls Junior champion won last year at Kingsmill and in April in Hawaii.Ill just try to play my own game, Lee said. I dont really want to go in with too high of expectations because I dont know what the conditions are going to be like.

Ill take it from there.Chinas Xi Yu Lin (68), South Koreas Chella Choi (72) and Germanys Sandra Gal (73) were 4 under.Yesterday, the rhythm was kind of slow.
