British pair in contention in Tipsport Women's Masters in Pilsen

18 June 2016 07:23

Scotland's Pamela Pretswell and Lydia Hall of Wales put themselves in contention heading into the final day of the Tipsport Women's Masters in Pilsen.

Australian Stacey Keating shot a seven-under-par 64 in the second round to secure a one-stroke lead on a day which saw two breaks in play because of bad weather.

Earlier, Hall, from Bridgend, had made the most of what were then fair conditions to hit five birdies and an eagle on the way to a six-under-par 65, which then put her as the clubhouse leader and would see her finish the day in fifth place, four behind Keating.

Hamilton golfer Pretswell also scored 65 and heads into Sunday in fourth place at seven under.

Denmark's Nanna Koerstz Madsen is second at nine under, with Swiss amateur Albane Valenzuela a stroke back in third.

English woman Georgia Hall sunk a hole in one at the 153-yard par-three 15th, but remained down the field, tied for 32nd at one under after a round of 69.
