Zorzi leads the way
Italian Veronica Zorzi took a two-stroke lead at the end of the second round of the SAS Ladies Masters in Norway.
Four Britons were among seven women tied for fifth as Italian Veronica Zorzi took a two-stroke lead at the end of the second round of the SAS Ladies Masters.
Samantha Head had ended the first round joint second at the Larvik Golf Club in Norway but a level-par 73 saw the Bedfordshire woman finish today five shots adrift of Zorzi at seven under.
Head was joined by Rebecca Hudson, Melissa Reid and Trish Johnson.
Zorzi shot a five-under 68, including four birdies, for a two-round total of 12 under, with Lisa Holm Sorensen two shots back.
The Italian said: “I just stayed patient and hit the fairways and greens and made some putts.
“I can read the lines pretty well so I am feeling comfortable.”
Sorensen had led after the first round but she hit a second-round 74 to finish on 10 under, one shot ahead of AIB Ladies Irish Open winner Diana Luna with Laura Cabanillas of Spain fourth on eight under.
