PETALING JAYA: Malaysian golfer Natasha Andrea Oon continued her strong showing by carding a two-under 70 in the second round of the LPGA Tour’s Fortinet Founders Cup in California on Friday (March 20).<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old navigated a rollercoaster round, mixing an eagle, seven birdies, five bogeys and a double bogey at Sharon Heights Golf and Country Club, thus improving from her overnight tied 60th to tied 31st at the half-way stage.<\/p>\n
Natasha is nine shots off the lead held by South Korea’s Kim Hyo-joo, who moved to 11-under 133 after a second-round 70.<\/p>\n
Natasha was pleased to make the cut in her LPGA Tour debut.<\/p>\n
“It’s been a while and these things happen.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is golf. I guess it was just colourful. I kind of covered all areas out there,\u201d commented Natasha on her eventful second day.<\/p>\n
She highlighted her round with a spectacular eagle that lifted both her momentum and confidence late in the day.<\/p>\n
Natasha is making a comeback to competitive golf after a two-year lay-off caused by a foot injury.<\/p>\n
