"I am satisfied with my five birdies today. The score I will give myself is 95. I kept telling myself to be calm the last two holes (the eighth and the ninth holes) and successfully made birdies," she said. "My goal before I came was to make the cut, keep stable and try my best."

Tan, winner of the 2017 BridgeCC CLPGA Beijing Heritage during her rookie season, dropped her only stroke at the 159-yard fourth and moved into contention with four birdies over the final 10 holes.

The 19-year-old felt she had something to prove after missing the cut by five strokes last week in Beijing.

"The greens are hard and slow, it's difficult to control the ball. I am happy with my score today after the bad performance in Beijing," said Tan. "My goal this year is to focus on my shots not the result and practice more with my chip shots and putting."

Defending champion Saranporn Langkulgasettrin, the current CLPGA Tour Order of Merit leader, is absent from the 110-player field as the Thai star is in Alabama for this week's US Women's Open.
