ELAINE MOFFAT -- LEADING SCOT IN SPAIN AFTER 2ND ROUND

In the 2nd Round of the Singles in the Senior Championship at Parador El Saler Golf Club in Spain -- the strong wind - as your webmaster believes was a "hurricane" yet again caused havoc with many of the scores  
Xonia Wunsch (Spain) however, had an excellent round of 77 to be in the lead on 5 over par -  155 

Amy Ellertson (USA) after two very solid rounds of 79 strokes,  is  lying 3 shots behind while Aileen Greenfield ( England) is five strokes behind after improving her  81 strokes of the first day with a second of 79 strokes.  Ann Lewis (Wales)  with two rounds of 79 and 81 strokes is also placed on 160 (+16.)

Madrid's MarĂ­a de Orueta, who was the first round leader  with a 75, unfortunately took 95 in the second round to blow away any chance of taking the title

Elaine Moffat (St Regulus) improved on her first round by 2 shots to be the leading Scot with Karen Marshall (Baberton) 1 shot behind.
Wendy Nicholson (Baberton) improved by 8 shots to make the cut

The Cut was made for the final round with those in 60th position and tied. -- 177
