The 23-year-old recorded nine birdies and no bogeys for a 63, seven shots ahead of world number one Nellie Korda.
Korda's round Korda made five birdies but also a double bogey on the 16th hole, finishing two under and tied for 19th. "Honestly just made one bad swing, which ended up in a double. But overall, pretty happy with my day," Korda said. The 27-year-old won the Chevron Championship in April and the U.S. Women's Open earlier this month.
Yoon's comments "It was fun to play out there," Yoon said. "I'm just trying to think of nothing. Focus on what I need to do. Focus on process. That part, I think, I did great." The tournament offers a record $13 million purse, with the winner receiving $1.95 million.
