For the 27-year-old from Wellington, there is plenty to play for as he is currently in the hunt for a PGA Tour card through the DP World Tour, where the top 10 players in the standings at the end of the season who don\u2019t already have a PGA Tour card are granted one. Coming into this week\u2019s tournament, Hillier sat 12th in that list. <\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Fox recovered from a shaky first round to likely sneak into the weekend on the cut line. <\/p>\n

Fox finished at one-over in his first round to sit well down the leaderboard but shot up 45 places after his second-round effort as he carded a blemish-free three-under 69. <\/p>\n

The 38-year-old, who won the event in 2023, sat in a tie for 61st and looked set to make his way into the weekend by the barest of margins. <\/p>\n

On the LPGA Tour, Dame Lydia Ko enjoyed a strong second round in the Kroger Queen City Championship, moving 18 spots up the leaderboard with a three-under 69 to sit in a tie for 27th after two rounds. <\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t without some late disappointment for the Hall of Famer. Going five-under through 16 holes, a double bogey on the par-four 17th limited her move up the leaderboard. <\/p>\n

She goes into the weekend sitting at five-under for the US tournament, while fellow Kiwi Fiona Xu withdrew from the event. <\/p>\n
