Lilia Vu (70), Jennifer Kupcho (72) and New
Zealand's Lydia Ko (71) are tied for fourth at 3 under.
Ryann O'Toole (68), Ally Ewing (69), Rose Zhang (71), Japan's
Yuri Yoshida (71), South Korea's Hye-Jin Choi (72) and
Thailand's Ariya Jutanugarn (73) share seventh place at 2 under.
Coughlin, who finished in the top five in two majors earlier
this year, is looking forward to playing in the final group this
weekend.
"Means you're playing really good golf. You get to sleep in,
which is nice, too," she said. "Yeah, I'm excited. Still two
more rounds to go. Just trying to stay in the moment as much as
I can and stay in each shot as best I can and not try to get too
ahead of myself.
"I feel like I did a little bit today. I felt like I'm playing
so good I kept getting so excited and wanting to go and we were
waiting so much. Just staying super patient is going to be the
big key."
Coughlin birdied three of her first five holes on Friday, then
made 12 pars and one bogey (at the par-4 11th hole) the rest of
the way.
"The front nine, you have to take advantage," Coughlin said. "If
not, the back nine can really get you."
Ryu was tied for the lead until she bogeyed the par-4 18th hole.
Her up-and-down round included seven birdies and four bogeys.
Green was similarly inconsistent, carding five birdies and three
bogeys.
"It was tough again out there," Green said. "There was some
pretty strong wind gusts, especially our last few holes, so
committing to the shot you were envisioning was kind of
difficult.
"Yeah, I'm kind of glad that I'm finished for Friday and I can
go relax now."
Megan Khang, who captured the championship when the event was
played in Vancouver last year, shot a 71 on Friday to sit in a
tie for 26th at 1 over par.
