"I played great. But you know, I became too aggressive at No. 7. I hit a driver instead of a fairway metal and just hit a poor drive. I lost my ball and made a double bogey," Jang said. "But I recovered well, and now I have a great chance. There should be a great show tomorrow. We are playing very well."
The 24-year-old native of Seoul is currently the No. 10 in the world rankings. Jang has won twice on the US LPGA Tour this year, winning the Coates Golf Championship in Ocala, Florida in February, and the HSBC Women's Championship in Singapore in March.
Meanwhile, Feng also had a good start with remarkable two birdies in her first three holes. However, the Chinese No. 1 golf player could only connect on two more shots at the 10th and 12th holes in her bogey-free round, according to Sina.
"I gave myself many, many birdie chances, but sometimes you couldn't make them roll. Today was one of those days. The last six holes I was putting for birdie but didn't make anything," Feng said. "But I was happy that I have been bogey-free for two days.
