Chanettee Wannasaen maintained her lead at the Kroger Queen City Championship by shooting a four-under-par 68 on Friday in Hamilton, Ohio.
The 21-year-old from Thailand built on a first-round 63 to get to 13-under at the tournament's halfway point. She has a two-shot lead over compatriot and world number one Jeeno Thitikul, England's Charley Hull and Germany's Olivia Cowan.
Thitikul shot a 64 at TPC River's Bend, while Hull and Cowan posted 65s.
Behind them at 10 under are Sweden's Maja Stark, Sei Young Kim of South Korea and Gigi Stoll.
Stephenie Meadow posted level par for her two rounds, following Friday's one-under 71, however, the Ireland Olympian missed the cut by two shots
For the second straight day, Wannasaen eagled a par-four. On Thursday, it was a hole-out at the 10th; on Friday, the magic happened at the 13th, which was early in her round after she started on the back nine.
"Yeah, I did it again," Wannasaen quipped. "Yeah, exactly like the same, but I didn't see the ball like get in the hole. But I have a guy, like he scream. He was like, and he points like it's in the hole."
