Thompson, the No. 6, shoots 5-under 67 for low round of day. Lydia Ko and American Jennifer Kupcho are tied for second.

Then the murmurs grew louder, eventually turning into outright shouts of disbelief and exuberance as the ball drifted back toward the flagstick, gaining velocity until it disappeared into the cup for an eagle. Thompson wasn’t able to witness the ball dropping from her position on the fairway, but she heard the roar reverberate throughout the grounds at Congressional Country Club.

“I’m comfortable to be sure,” said Thompson, a fan favorite. “Today went really well. … I just came in today with a positive attitude. And same going into the weekend; if I go out and play like I did today, just solid and committing to my shots in the process of my routine, we’ll see where it takes me.”

The best finish for Ko at the Women’s PGA was a second in 2016 at Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, Wash. “When things are going well, everything looks good,” Ko said. “But I think the important thing is for me to realize that sometimes I’m not — most of the time — I’m not going to have a perfect round.”Chun came as close to that as anyone on tour Thursday morning, taming the 6,894-yard layout that was playing even longer with two-plus inches of rain that fell overnight.
