Having rocketed up the final-round leaderboard last week in Illinois with a nine-under-par 63 for a stunning debut on the second-tier Symetra Tour, the 23-year-old continued that form in Harris township, Michigan, with two birdies in her first three holes.
She reached the turn in two under par after responding to her first bogey of the week with a third birdie of the round on the ninth green.
Chan moved further up the leaderboard with two further gains over the first five holes of the back nine, but two bogeys in four holes to finish – including a six at the par-five 18th – left Chan five shots off the pace.
The University of Southern California graduate opened with rounds of 70 and 72 last week at the Decatur-Forsyth Classic.
China’s Liu Ruixin leads the way on seven under par, with American Emma Talley a shot further off the pace.
