The U.S. Women's Open at CordeValle Golf Club in San Martin, California, resumed Friday as some of the world's top players jockeyed for position atop the leaderboard. After two rounds, Sung Hyun Park owns the lead after shooting a six-under 66 to bring her overall score to eight under par.

The day's other notable mover was world No. 1 Lydia Ko, who fired a six-under 66 a day after shooting a one-over 73. Ko now sits at five under for the tournament and is just three shots off the pace. 

Ko—whose best finish in a Women's U.S. Open is 12th—was dialed in all day long, and her efficiency on the greens was markedly improved from Thursday.
