Day 2: Zhu Leads as the Field Fights for Match Play Spots
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — As the wind picked up along 17-Mile Drive, the Dunes Course at Monterey Peninsula Country Club showed a little more of its edge on Sunday. After her brilliant opening-round 67, Katherine Zhu of San Jose returned to steady form in the second round, maintaining her place atop the leaderboard as the chase for match-play positions tightened behind her.
With the top 64 advancing, the cut line hovered around the mid-70s as conditions toughened through the afternoon. Familiar names — including Jessica Spicer, Kimberly Dinh, and Shannon Johnson — remain in striking distance, while defending champion Hana Ryskova will need a strong finish to extend her title defense into Monday.
The course has lived up to its Golden-Age reputation: fast, firm, and visually stunning yet deceptively punishing. Patience, precision, and placement have defined the week so far — exactly what the Dunes was designed to demand.
What’s Next: The final round of stroke play wraps up today with playoff spots — and championship dreams — on the line. Match play begins Monday morning, promising a fresh slate and head-to-head drama on one of golf’s most scenic stages.
