This is a huge leap from 2021, when she finished tied for 25th place in this competition. 

Sitting in first place at the moment is Japan’s Ayaka Furue. She is just a 22-year-old LPGA Tour rookie, but is making big waves already.  

In her past, Furue has had seven wins on the LPGA Tour! The question is, will she be able to claim another one in her first major championship?
