Scottish champion Laura Murray (Alford), joint leader overnight after a two-under-par 73 over the St Andrews New Course on Saturday, took up the pole position on her own after the second round, over the Old Course this morning/afternoon with a two-under-par 74 in the St Rule Trophy women's 54 hole tournament at the Home of Golf.
Bright, breezy and very, very chilly - that's the weather report from St Andrews with the RandA clubhouse wind-measuring device showing gusts of up to 17mph coming from a north-easterly direction. What it doesn't show is the chill factor and just how cold it is ... more like January than June.
Murray leads by two shots on four-under-par 147 (75 is the New Course par; 76 is the Old Course par)
The big-hitting Aberdeenshire 23-year-old, birdied three par-5s in her second round - the fourth, the 13th and 14th with a fourth birdie coming at the par-4 12th.
She did drop shots, but not as many as most with the wind in their faces coming home, at the first and 11th in halves of 38 (level par) and 36 (two under)
Ireland's Aedin Murphy had a hole in one at the eighth (145yd) on the Old Course this morning on her way to an 80, a repeat of her opening score over the New Course when she did not have an ace.
