Yuka Saso went on a birdie blitz on a frigid Friday afternoon at the Olympic Club to card a four-under 67 and grab a one-stroke lead heading into the weekend at the US Women’s Open.
The 19-year-old Filipino player drilled a long putt on her final hole for a sixth birdie of the day to reach six-under par at the major, one clear of South Korea’s Lee Jeong-eun “I love playing golf and am just thankful that I’m here,” said Saso, who said she models her swing on the four-time men’s major champion Rory McIlroy.
