Stephanie Kyriacou contends at weather disrupted Evian Championship

The second round of the Amundi Evian Championship in Evian Les Bains in France was disrupted by dangerous weather late on Friday afternoon. Still, Sydney’s Stephanie Kyriacou finds herself in a share of second place and three from the leader Ayaka Furue with two holes to play of her round.

After an opening bogey, Kyriacou birdied five of her next eight holes to make the turn in 31 and although she could only par her next seven holes she is well placed heading into the weekend.

Those yet to complete round two will be required to return to the course at 7.30 on Saturday morning to finish their rounds and begin round three after a cut is made.

Kyriacou is in her third season on the LPGA Tour and although yet to win she has recorded two top tens in majors previously and has won two events on the Ladies European Tour prior to heading to the USA.

After opening with a round of 65 on Thursday, New Zealand’s Lydia Ko has struggled on day two and is 2 over for the day and tied for 24^th with five holes to play of round two.

Minjee Lee is a shot further back in 29^th place, Gabi Ruffels and Grace Kim 43^rd and Hannah Green 54^th although, of those, Kim has yet to finish her round.
