South Korean Amy Yang will take a two-shot lead into the weekend at the S4C Wales Ladies Championship of Europe.
Yang, a three-time winner on the Ladies European Tour, added a score of 65 to her opening 68 for an 11-under total of 133 after a second day of sunshine at Royal St David's Golf Club in Harlech, Gwynedd.
The 20-year-old was at one point nine under par for the round and 13 under overall, but she double-bogeyed the par-four 17th.
"Everything was working well: short game, putting was working well. I hit a few missed shots but they were safe missed shots so I was keeping out of trouble," said Yang.
Australian Katherine Hull carded a 68 to lie second on nine under, firing four birdies over the championship links course at the first, eighth, 11th and 16th holes.
She said: "No bogeys so that's always a good day when that happens. I guess I needed to make a few more birdies to keep up with Amy."
Wales' Becky Brewerton was among a group of four players who finished two shots further back on seven under.
"My putting was unbelievable. I didn't hit the ball that well but made everything. I had 25 putts. I'm very happy and would have taken that," the Solheim Cup star said after today's 67.
"I just need to hit a few balls off the tee and find the feeling. Everything else feels great."
The other three players on 137 overall were Frenchwoman Jade Schaeffer, South African Ashleigh Simon and overnightleader Anna Nordqvist of Sweden.
Australian Frances Bondad was seventh on six under, followed by Sweden's Louise Stahle and England's Karen Stupples in a share of eighth on four under.
Third round play resumes at 0730 on Saturday, with Yang and Hull in the final pairing at 1236.
