With the first and second round complete of the Navistar LPGA Classic, we find Lorena Ochoa, Laura Davies, Yani Tseng, Giulia Sergas and 14-year-old Alexis Thompson in a five way tie for 1st place. All are 10-under-par 134. The young rookie Thompson started the competition off in the lead mostly throughout the competition and finished in second place behind Janice Moodie on day one with 7-under-par and made three birdies today to put her in fighting position as we move into the weekend and the final round on Sunday. Yani Tseng bounded up the leaderboard today by shooting an amazing 9-under-par today. But last year’s winner Lorena Ochoa is making a run to defend her title, we’ll see if she can keep it up tomorrow.
Today was cut day and though two of our players didn’t make it, 3 did. And right in the thick of things is Team VTech member Alena Sharp who’s currently tied for 16th at 6-under-par 138. Our good friend Beth Bader is one stroke behind at 5-under-par 139. Diana D’Alessio and Becky Morgan both made it with 2-under-par 142 and the latter with at even par 144. Eighty-three players advance to weekend play and we’ll check back to see how girls and everyone fairs on the greens.
