(with additional words by Colin Farquharson)
Heron Bay Golf Club’s famous winds swirled all day Saturday, making the 6,350yd lay-out a stern test in the second round of the Women’s Dixie Amateur at Coral Springs, Florida.
South African-born Paula Reto, a member of the 2010 NCAA Champions Purdue University squad, took a one-stroke lead with a three-under-par 69, the lowest score of the day, for a 36-hole tally of three-under 141.
Reto, who lives locally, birdied her 18th hole (the ninth on the card) with a 12ft  uphill putt to secure the pole position after two rounds.
Highly-touted junior star Ginger Howard of Bradenton, Florida followed up her first-round 72 with the day's second best score of 70 to put herself one shot back of Reto in a tie for second with British girls open amateur champion Alexandra Bonetti from Paris. The French teenager, pictured by Cal Carson Golf Agency with the British girls' trophy at Royal Belfast Golf Club last August,  had a second-round 72 for two-under 142.
Alexandra has signed a Letter of Intent to enrol at Texas Christian University in the autumn.
GB and I Curtis Cup player Holly Clyburn (Woodhall Spa) from Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire and Carly Yadloczky each has a pair of par-matching 72s to her credit and they share fourth place on par 144.
First-round leader Taylor Collins of Davie, Florida is three strokes off the lead on 145 are slipping from a pacemaking 69 to a four-over 76.
Three times US women's mid-amateur champion, Meghan Stasi, who played in the Curtis Cup match at the Old Course, St Andrews in 2008, survived the cut at 161 by four shots but she will not be happy with rounds of 76 and 81 for 157. Meghan lost to Scottish champion Kelsey MacDonald in the semi-finals of the British women's open amateur championship at Ganton GC, Yorkshire last June.
In the Senior Women’s Dixie Amateur two-time defending champion Diane Lang of Jamaica and Weston, Florida holds a one-shot lead over Mimi Hoffman of Springfield, Virginia.
Going into the last (third) round of the Senior Dixie, joint third placed Anna Schultz of Rockville, Texas and Ivy Steinberg of Stouffville, Canada find themselves a full nine shots off the lead.
