Three other teams, including England’s Charley Hull and Georgia Hall, are one shot behind. Lexi Thompson and Brooke Henderson are two shots back at 10 under.
Grace Kim said of her ace at the par-three seventh hole: “I’ve had a lot of close shaves, and this is actually my first one, so it’s very exciting.
“I was obviously just trying to put it close. All I see is it kind of disappear.”
Grace and Austin Kim birdied their next hole, and then had five more on the back nine.
“A lot of good came from that hole, courtesy of Grace,” Auston said. “It felt really positive going forward from there.”
