Elaine Moffat - Leading Scot at the British Seniors Amateur Championship after the 2nd round

Ireland’s Alison Taylor stayed at the top of the leaderboard but had her advantage cut by half after adding a 75 to her opening 70 at the R&A Women’s Senior Amateur Championship at Royal St David’s. 
 On another day of glorious weather, Taylor, four shots ahead overnight, will go into the final round on five under par, two strokes ahead of American Lara Tennant and three clear of Canadian Judith Kyrinis. Tennant and Kyrinis both made headway with matching rounds of 73 - the joint best of the day. 

Tennant, a two-time US Senior Women’s Champion, had five birdies, while Kyrinis managed four, including a rare one at the tricky, par three 18th.

Scot Elaine Moffat (St Regulus) had a 76 to add to her 1st round of 77 to be 3 over par at a total of 153 to be in 12th place.

Karen Ferguson- Sneddon (Mortonhall) finished on 157 (7 over par) in 23rd place. and Maureen Richmond (Royal Liverpool) finished on 161 (11 over par) 
Gillian Kyle (East Renfrewshire)  did not make the cut for the 3rd round
