Stacy Solidifies Nelspruit Lead

Stacy Bregman remains in the
lead by three shots after the second round on Friday in the Pam Golding Ladies
International, being held at the Nelspruit Golf Club.

Bregman had a steady start and
parred the 1^st hole. She was on the green in three on the par five 2^nd
hole where she had an easy putt for birdie before three putting-the next hole, only
to bounce right back on the 4^th.

Her approach shot to the 4^th
hole was really close to the green, allowing her to chip up to within a couple
of feet of the pin, to sink her second birdie of the day.

After Bregman dropped a shot on
the 5^th hole, she came back again to redeem herself on both the
following par fours, and to progress her advantage further when she hit her
ball up very close to claim two more birdies on the 7^th and 8^th
holes respectively.

Turning on six under par,
trouble struck on the par-four 10^th hole when she got stuck behind a
tree. Although she recovered with her first putt getting right up close to the
pin, it over ran and she carded another bogey.

On the 16^th par four
she holed her final birdie of the day to close with one of the best rounds of
the day with a score of 70, and -6 under par for the tournament. "Overall I was
comfortable with my round today.  My putting was frustrating at times, but
I’m looking forward to tomorrow," said Bregman.

The other best round of the day
came from Swede Maria Boden just three shots behind the leader. At the start of
her second round off the 10^th she dropped a shot, but claimed
birdies on par four 11^th hole, and once more on the par five 14^th.

Boden then had a shocking run on
the final holes of the back nine, where she dropped a shot on each of the par
fours on the 15^th, 16^th and 18^th holes. After
a stern talking to herself it seemed she had calmed down.

The Swede then pulled her game
together and had a bogey free front nine. She sank back-to-back birdies on the
2^nd and 3^rd hole. With a further birdie on the par three
5^th hole safely on the scorecard, she claimed her sixth birdie of
the day on the par four 9^th hole.

Lying two shots behind Boden is
South Africa’s Morgana Robbertze, carding 72, and Dane Lisa Holm Sorensen a 71
for their second round today, while Gauteng’s Tandi Cuningham remains leading
amateur on +3 over par for the tournament and a score of 74 today.

The final round of the Pam
Golding Ladies International will start at 07h00 at the Nelspruit Golf Club
with the leaders off at 09h00. Entrance is free. www.ladiesafricantour.com
