It's been over eight years since Azahara Munoz hoisted an LPGA Tour trophy, since his last victory in 2012 at the Sybase Match Play Championship in New Jersey. The Spanish star in pole position tied with Stacy Lewis before the weekend, will try this Sunday to end this long period of famine.

" I feel good. I hit the ball very well ", declared Munoz after his 69 at the end of the second round." I touched, a lot of greens in regulation, slightly less well today than yesterday, however, I Hit just about all the greens or right next to it but hitting the putts. I think that's the key to winning on this type of course… ”

Munoz is taking every second of this opportunity to play in Scotland, a chance that has strangely happened due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

« I love Scottish golf. The only reason I've never come to this tournament is that it's always the week before the British Open and it's my only chance to get home to Spain so I always take that week off to see my family,” said Munoz, who won the British Women’s Amateur title in 2008 in Wales. “I grew up playing British Girls and British Amateur, and we loved coming here. This is where golf started, and it's a great challenge because you have to be very precise and I really like that ».
