The Thunderbirds
Tsara Ralamboarison sits in first place on the tournament with just one round remaining. A one over par 73 in round one and a two under par 70 in round two, have her at one under on the tournament, two strokes ahead of second place.
Four birdies on the card and just two bogeys in the second round is what led to the two-under-par score that propelled Ralamboarison to the lead. Through two days of action, she has played the par 3's and the par 4's at even par, and is one under on the par 5's.
Tori Thomas is second in the lineup for SUU and played another solid round at four over par 76. She finds herself in a tie for 15th on the tournament at +7.
Tanyatorn (Excel) Thalangkarn has battled her way to a tie for 20th on the tournament. After no birdies in round one, Thalangkarn saw three birdies drop in round two which helped her to a two over par 74 in round two.
After a rollercoaster 10 over par finish on day one Natcharee (Irene) Thanchitnithithanya steadied the ride in round two with two birdies and just four bogeys which led to a two over par 74 finish and put her in a tie for 35th on the tournament.
