IVINS, Utah (AP) — Haeran Ryu tried to keep her eyes on the fairways instead of the black lava rock framing them and it worked in her favor again Friday for a 5-under 67 that gave her a two-shot lead going into the weekend at the Black Desert Championship.

Ryu has missed only two fairways and three greens over 36 holes at the Tom Weiskopf design, where ample fairways can look narrow because of rocks.

Coming off a nine-birdie start, Ryu was 1 over through four holes when a birdie on the fifth sent her on her way.
