South Africa’s Nicole Garcia was one of three players sharing the lead on Friday after the second round of the Ladies European Tour’s Aramco Team Series-Singapore Laguna National Golf Resort Club.

Garcia, who led after the first round, had another solid day carding a round of two-under-par 70 which included three birdies and one bogey. She shared the lead with France’s Pauline Roussin and American Danielle Kang all sit on seven-under-par with one round remaining.

The South African said: “Today I think my scrambling and keeping it together was what went well. I was hoping a few more putts would have dropped but I was still hitting some good iron shots.

“I’m excited but probably also nervous for tomorrow. I’m normally chasing on the final day, so it’s quite a nice position to be in, we’ll see tomorrow how I feel. My golf feels solid so I’m hoping that tomorrow if I can just keep the rhythm that it will go well.”

Major champion Kang had a good day producing a round of four-under-par 68 which included eight birdies, including three in a row on holes 13 through 15.

“I’m just trying to focus on whatever the shot that was in front of me and try not though think about anything else,” said the American.

“It’s been a little bit of a difficult week, so my caddie and I’ve been just staying in our own zone, our own bubble, and I think we did a good job today.”

It was also a solid day for LET winner Roussin, who produced a round of 69 (-3) which included five birdies and two bogeys on day two.

Three players sit in a share of fourth place two shots behind the leaders with Dutch star Anne Van Dam, Austria’s Emma Spitz and Sweden’s Linn Grant on five-under-par.

Five players are in a tie for seventh place on four-under-par including world number one Lydia Ko, Czechia’s Klara Davidson Spilkova, Denmark’s Nicole Broch Estrup, England’s Bronte Law and Germany’s Chiara Noja.

Casandra Alexander was part of the winning team, together with captain Christine Wolf, Eleanor Givens and amateur Katsuko Blalock. Alexander is in a share of 39th in the individual competition after a second round of one-over 73. Kaleigh Telfer was in a share of 15th on two-under after a round of level-par.
