Canice Screene leads the home challenge on day two of the KPMG Women’s Irish Open at the K Club, with South African Casandra Alexander continuing to set a hot pace at the head of affairs.<\/p>\n
London-born Screene, who plays on the LET Access, added a 67 to her opening 72 to move to five under. Her card included seven birdies with just two dropped shots. Next best of the Irish is \u00c1ine Donegan on two under after a round of 73, with Anna Foster and Annabel Wilson a shot further back after rounds of 72 and 71 respectively.<\/p>\n
Lauren Walsh stands at level par after her 70.<\/p>\n
The projected cut mark is +1 and that’s where Leona Maguire began the day.<\/p>\n
Sara Byrne is at two over after a consecutive 73.<\/p>\n
Alexander carded a blemish-free 63 with nine birdies to open up a four-stroke lead after day one. She followed that with a 66 in a round that saw two eagles on her card.<\/p>\n
Alexander stands at 15-under par and is five shots clear of her nearest pursuer, Sara Kouskova, from Czechia.<\/p>\n
