Description

The field returns to The Palms at Sanctuary Cove for the second round, where the primary objective is navigating the 36-hole cut to secure a place for the weekend. The focus is firmly on Scotland's Kelsey Macdonald, who set a blistering pace on Thursday with a course-record 64. Her challenge is to follow up that momentum on the coastal layout, where shifting afternoon winds often demand a more conservative approach into the elevated greens.

Chasing the lead is world number seven Hannah Green, who trails by a single stroke. Green's strategy is to continue her bogey-free consistency to apply pressure on the international field. With a strong presence from the Ladies European Tour, including England's Charlotte Heath and Meghan MacLaren, the morning starters aim to take advantage of the softer conditions before the heat and humidity of the Gold Coast become a factor in the later sessions.

Result Description

Hannah Green surged into the outright lead at the halfway point, moving to 10-under par following a resilient 4-under 67. The Australian's round was a mix of clinical brilliance and gritty recovery; after taking the lead with an early birdie, she dropped shots at the 11th and 15th, only to storm back with a 12-foot birdie on the final hole. Her performance has established a two-shot cushion as she chases a historic third consecutive professional victory.

The leaderboard saw a significant shake-up as overnight leader Kelsey Macdonald struggled to find her rhythm, carding a 77 to slip back into the pack. This opened the door for Meghan MacLaren and South Africa’s Casandra Alexander, who both share second place at 8-under par after matching rounds of 68. Queensland rookie Hannah Reeves remains the next best Australian at 5-under par, while the cut claimed several notable names, leaving a refined field to battle for the Karrie Webb Cup over the weekend.
