Perth’s Hannah Green has bounced back from a missed cut at last week’s opening major of the year, recording a second round of 69 to move within one of the halfway lead held by India’s Aditi Ashok at the JM Eagle LA Championship at the Wilshire Country Club in Los Angeles.
In her five starts to date this season Green has finished no better than 20th and missed the cut by some margin last week in Houston but this week she began well on Thursday before two late bogeys and today added four birdies and two bogeys for her round of 69 to be very much in the picture heading into the weekend.
Now into her 6th LPGA Tour season, Green still has only two victories to her name but she has proven herself at the highest level and now she has found form she might well go on with it this weekend.
Sarah Kemp added a strong second round of 68 to improve 27 positions from her opening round of 70 to be in a share of 6th place and just two from the lead.
Minjee Lee was unable to reproduce anywhere near her opening round of 65 and her 5 over 76 now has her in a share of 22nd place while Stephanie Kyriacou just made the cut in 44th position.
