IVINS, Utah (AP) — Hae Ran Ryu regained control of the Black Desert Championship by holing out for eagle on the 11th hole, sending her to a 4-under 68 to maintain her two-shot lead in the LPGA Tour's return to Utah for the first time in more than 60 years.

Ryu will be trying to win a tournament for the seventh straight year, dating to when she was an 18-year-old on the Korea LPGA.

Her biggest challenge might be Ruoning Yin, the former Women's PGA champion who ran off 10 birdies at Black Desert for a 62, the best score of the tournament and enough to get within two shots.
