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.)
