China's Yan Liu had an underwhelming second round, but is still at the top of the leaderboard with a score of 7-under. After scoring 7-under 65 in the first round, she scored an even par 72 in the second round. She scored a birdie and an eagle against three bogeys.

Talking about her round, she said (via ASAP Sports):

"Well, I think today the hole location is pretty tough, so I had really good iron but doesn't close to the hole. So today was -- well, I stay my patient. I know it's front nine a little up and down. I got albatross 8th hole and I think it's really good. After that hole I feel I very excited so I make a bogey again on 9.

9 I had really, really good driver and really, really good iron but just made a three-putt. I think too excited because I got albatross."

Yin has a one-shot lead over Lindy Duncan, Sarah Schmelzel, Mao Saigo, and Hyo Joo Kim. Meanwhile, after a disappointing round of 77, Nelly Korda has recovered and has a 4-under 68 score. She is tied for 46th and will likely make the cut.

Lexi Thompson is tied for 11th with 4-under, while Charley Hull is tied for 93rd with 4-over. Lydia Ko is tied for 46th with 1-over. The top 65 players and ties will make the cut at the first major of the year, with around 10 players yet to complete their round. The projected cutline at the Chevron Championship is 1-over.
