What a day for Australian player Hannah Green! Thanks to 11 birdies and a thunderous 61, she takes sole control of the Ford Championship presented by KCC with a total of -14. Céline Boutier, at the forefront from the first lap, fell back slightly on the leaderboard but remained in ambush in 10th position. The weekend is likely to see many twists and turns: 21 players stand in four shots. Agathe Laisné and Perrine Delacour do not make the cut.

What a day for Australian Hannah Green! The 27-year-old delivered an almost perfect performance in all areas of play. Already off to a good start at the start of the day, Green even had the luxury of finishing her round with six birdies on her last six holes. She has a lead at the start of the weekend over Sarah Schmelzel and Peiyun Chien.

In the very tight top 10 of this Ford Championship presented by KCC, many big names are in the race for victory. Lydia Ko is 6th, Nelly Korda, Lexi Thompson and Nasa Hataoka are 10th, just like our Frenchwoman.

Céline Boutier is in the mix after two rounds. Very well placed from the first day with a score of -7, the Francilienne scored 69 (-3) in her second round and placed herself in the top 10. It will take a great last day to hope to secure victory. A good result could bring Céline Boutier closer to second place in the world.

Agathe Laisné and Perrine Delacour were eliminated from this event in Arizona, far from the Cut. They finished 138th at +4.
