Rio Takeda overcame a double bogey at the turn with four birdies over her final seven holes Thursday for a 5-under 67 to share the lead with Eri Okayama in an AIG Women’s Open that featured a Japanese surge and a mixed day for Lottie Woad.

After carding six birdies in her first 14 holes, Woad shot 2-under 70 to get to 2 under for the tournament, nine back of leader Miyu Yamashita, who carded a dazzling 7-under 65. After hitting 11 greens in the first round, Woad hit 16 in Round 2.

Thirty days ago, on July 1, Woad was still an amateur, a rising senior at Florida State University. At the AIG Women’s Briths Open, she’s a professional, a member of the LPGA, winner of two professional tournaments and the betting favorite to win the last major of the season.
