Curtis Cup reserve Stephanie Meadow leads the field with one round to go in the Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate women's tournament after a superb second round of six-under-par 66 at English Turn Country Club, New Orleands.
University of Alabama first-year student Stephanie, who had opened with a par-matching 72 over the 6,105yd course, was heading for a best-ever round of 64 until she bogeyed her last two holes of the day. She had gone to the turn in six-under-par 30.
The Northern Ireland teenager, who has lived in America for the past few years, got to eight under the card with birdies at the long second, the short tird, the fourth, long sixth, short eighth, ninth, 10th and 14th before she stumbled with a bogey at the short 17 and another at the par-4 18th.
But it was still a great round from the former Irish girls' champion who is a member at Royal Portrush Golf Club (the venue for the British women's open amateur championship in June).
In a field of 95 players, Stephanie leads by one shot from the highly-ranked American Megan McChrystal (Louisana State University) who has shot 69 and 70 for 139.
Alabama University lead the team event.
Past English girls champion Ellie Givens (Denver University) is sharing 52nd place on 152 after rounds of 75 and 77. Ellie had a double bogey 6 at the fourth and a double bogey 7 at the long 11th in halves of 40 and 37 in the second round. She had a double bogey in her first round.
