ANZ LADIES MASTERS
KATHRYN IMRIE IMPROVES BY SIX SHOTS
Kathryn Imrie hit more fairways and greens and holed more putts to slash six shots off her opening-day effort with a three-under-par score of 69 in the second round of the ANZ Ladies Masters at Royal Pines Resort, Queensland on Friday.
The Monifieth player made the halfway cut (three-under-par 147 or better) comfortably with a 36-hole tally of level par 144 and starts the third round in a share of 35th place behind the new leader, Korean amateur Amy Yang who shot a 66 for 135 and has played the first 36 holes without a bogey.
Mhairi McKay, joint overnight leader, slipped down to second place on her own with a 69 for 136.
Kathryn Imrie birdied the second, third, fifth and sixth in four-under 33 to the turn. She got to five under for the day with a birdie at the 10th but then dropped shots at the 12th and 16th.
Kathryn had 30 putts – four fewer than in the first round, and hit 15 of the 18 greens in regulation and nine of the 14 fairways from the tee.
Mhairi McKay, requiring 30 putts compared with 26 in her opening 67, started at the 10th and birdied the 11th, 14th, first, sixth and ninth in halves of 35 (par for the inward journey) and 34 (three under for the outward half).
The Glasgow-born player, who, like Miss Imrie, lost her LPGA playing rights at the end of the 2005 season, bogeyed the 13th, 15th and 18th.
Catherine Cartwright (US) covered holes 10 to 18 in only 29 shots and her 67 put her into a share of third place on 167 with Australian Anne-Marie Knight.
Inverness-based Kiwi Liz McKinnon was not among the players who progressed with totals of three-over 147 or better.
Liz slumped from a 70 to a second-round 78 and did not have a single birdie in halves of 39. She bogeyed the eighth, ninth, 10th, 11th, 14th and 18th.
