Thompson carded a 3-under 68 that was capped with a two-putt birdie on the par-5 18th at Las Colinas Country Club in Irving, Texas. The birdie came after a second shot that hit the grandstands and bounced back onto the green.
Park, who won this event in 2013, also birdied her final hole to shoot 69. Park and Thompson sit at 9-under 204, a shot ahead of second-round leader, 17-year-old Brooke Henderson, as well as Angela Stanford and Karrie Webb.
