Leona Maguire carded a second round of 71 at the BMW Ladies Championship to now lie ten shots adrift of leader Haeran Ryu of South Korea.<\/p>\n

After opening with a 70, Maguire was hoping to make inroads up the leaderboard and a birdie at the second was one of the few highlights in her round.<\/p>\n

She picked up another shot on 12 but subsequently gave one back on 14. Her standing at three under at the halfway mark in South Korea leaves her in a share of 39th spot.<\/p>\n

The event is part of the LPGA Tour’s Asian swing with 84 players in the field and no cut.<\/p>\n

It was a better day for Ireland’s other competitor at the Pine Beach Golf Links, with Lauren Walsh carding a 65, 12 shots better than her round one score.<\/p>\n

Starting on the 10th, Walsh found her groove from the 17th, with seven birdies on her card thereafter. The 26-year-old will begin round three on two over.<\/p>\n
