It's the home stretch for the 70 players participating in this second round of the Q-Series. It should be remembered that only the first 45 will obtain playing rights on the LPGA Tour.

It is the Highland Oaks Golf Club that hosts this second part of the Q-Series offering a composite route with nine holes of the Highland course then nine holes of the Marshwood course.

The fifth round was therefore launched with our French Pauline Roussin-Bouchard in the lead. This round must have ended on Friday morning, because the game was interrupted by night on Thursday evening, departures having been delayed in the morning due to fog.

Pauline Roussin-Bouchard, leader at the end of the first four laps, nevertheless retains her first place thanks to a card of 68 (-4). She signs five birdies for a single bogey and points to -23 total. She must have finished her game on Friday morning because the game was interrupted by nightfall on Thursday evening. She still had three holes to play on which she made three pars. She is one step ahead of Korean Na Rin An.

The scores of the French women:

Pauline Roussin-Bouchard, first at -23.

Agathe Laisné and Julie Aimé are ranked 46th at -3.

Agathe Laisné returns a card of 71 (-1), two birdies for a bogey. It goes from 42nd to 46th place.
