PHOENIX – Led by a 2-under 70 from sophomore Briana Chacon, the Oregon women's golf team moved up four spots on the leaderboard with a 1-over 289 in the second round of the PING ASU Invitational on Saturday at Papago Golf Course.
 
After finishing Friday's opening round in 10th place in the 15-team field, the Ducks improved by five strokes and tied for the third-best mark of the day in the second round. Oregon enters Sunday's final round at 7-over-par, seven strokes back of tournament leader Arizona State.
 
How it Happened: Chacon was locked in from start to finish on Saturday, opening her round with a birdie at No. 10 and adding another at No. 14. The sophomore made 11 straight pars before a bogey at No. 8, the lone blemish on her scorecard that was immediately offset by a birdie on her final hole of the day.
 
Chacon moved up 22 spots on the individual leaderboard from Friday and goes into the final round in a tie for 12th overall at even-par. Kelly Sim of Northwestern leads the field at 5-under-par.
 
Freshman Hsin-Yu (Cynthia) Lu – the No. 40 ranked player on the World Amateur Golf Rankings – was 1 over through her first nine holes before opening her back nine with back-to-back birdies. Lu was back at 1 over with two holes remaining, and she finished with a par and a birdie to end the day with an even-par 72.
 
Sofie Kibsgaard Nielsen carded a 2-over 74 after leading Oregon with a 72 on Friday, going 1 under over her final 11 holes after starting the day with three bogeys through seven. Lu and Nielsen both enter the final round at 2 over for the weekend, in a tie for 22nd overall.
 
Tze-Han (Heather) Lin also enjoyed a strong day with a 1-over 73 while leading the Ducks with four total birdies on the day. Alexis Phadungmartvorakul – who is competing as an individual this weekend – finished with a 73 as well with three birdies. Lin and Phadungmartvorakul are tied for 30th individually at 3-over-par.
