Australian Nikki Garrett made a final-hole birdie to retain her overnight lead in the second round of the Tenerife Open de España Femenino at Golf Las Américas.
After a career low 64 on Thursday, the 28-year-old from New South Wales started the day with a three stroke advantage at eight under par and carded a second-round 73 in hot and breezy conditions to end seven under taking a one stroke lead into the weekend.
Garrett was surprised to be leading as England’s Laura Davies was eight under when she teed off, but the Englishwoman triple bogeyed the last hole to slip back into a group at five under.
