Ina Yoon Leads Women's PGA Championship by Five Strokes After 36 Holes

Ina Yoon extended her lead at the Women's PGA Championship to five strokes after shooting a 3-under 69 in the second round on June 26, 2026. ESPN reported that the 23-year-old South Korean reached 12 under par at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota, after a first-round 63. Yoon had two bogeys and one birdie on the back nine.

She has not yet won an LPGA Tour event, having tied for fourth at the 2026 Chevron Championship and missed the cut at the U.S. Women's Open. Nasa Hataoka, Brooke Henderson, A Lin Kim and Hae Ran Ryu were tied for second at 7 under.

Ryu shot 64 and Henderson shot 68 with three straight birdies to close her round. Nelly Korda posted rounds of 70 and 68 to stand at 6 under in a tie for sixth with Dongeun Lee. The course measured 6,700 yards, and the 36-hole scoring average was the lowest since 2008.

Yoon became the fourth player in Women's PGA Championship history since 1955 to lead by five or more strokes after 36 holes, following Mickey Wright in 1958, In Gee Chun in 2022 and Cristie Kerr in 2010.
