Aditi from India spreadeagles St Rule Trophy field

Hollie, winner of the SLGA Under-16 girls open stroke play at Strathmore in April, has had rounds of 74 and 70 for six-under 144.
The field is spread out, trailing in Ashok's wake.
There are five players sharing fourth place on 147 which is three under par  - but that's nine shots off the lead. They are: Charlotte Leathem (Styal), new Scottish champion Clara Young (North Berwick), Charlotte De Corte from Belgium, Samantha Giles (St Mellion) and India Clyburn (Woodhall Spa), winner of the Scottish Under-21 girls open title in record-breaking style last year.
The players will go out in ascending score order on Sunday i.e. the highest second-round totals will be first out in threes at 8am.
The leading trio will go out last at 11.20
