Leona Maguire lies six shots adrift of halfway leader Lottie Woad at the Women's Scottish Open.

Maguire shot a 71 to add to her opening 67 at the Dundonald Links in a round where she bogeyed the first but subsequently picked up shots at nine and 10 to finish on six under. The Co Cavan competitor is currently in a share of eight spot.

Woad, who recently turned professional after finishing third in the Evian Championship and taking victory in the KMPG Irish Open, carded a 65 and is two shots clear of the field on 12 under. Starting on the 10th, it took the 21-year-old five holes to make her first birdie, adding two more before making a run of four in seven holes from the third.

Nelly Korda from the USA and Denmark's Nanna Koerstz Madsen share second on 10 under after both signed for a 66.

Korea's Sei Young Kim is in outright fourth place on nine-under-par with her compatriot Hyo-Joo Kim one shot further back in fifth.

Ina Yoon of Korea and Japan’s Minami Katsu are in a tie for sixth place on seven-under.
