LPGA / LET: Munoz and Lewis in the lead at – 5, Boutier +1
Spain's Azahara Munoz and American Stacy Lewis share the controls of the Ladies Scottish Open after the second round. Céline Boutier, alone Blue still in the race, is in 23rd position (+1) on the Renaissance Club course. Céline Herbin (+8 total) and Camille Chevalier (+12) did not cross the cut, falling to +5.
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.
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 ».
