New Zealand golfer Amelia Garvey has struck form. She is sitting in a tie for third on the Ladies European Tour at the Women's Irish Open after two rounds.
Garvey had a blemish-free round with birdies on the first, eighth and 10th holes.
LATEST HEADLINES:
She sits at seven-under, along with three others, four shots behind the current leader, Lottie Wood from England. Garvey was third at the German Masters last week.
Momoka Kobori is in a share of 25th at one-under after rounds of one-over 74 and two-under 71, which included four birdies and two pars, while Wenyung Keh missed the cut by six shots at eight-under after rounds of one-under 72 and nine-over 82.
Kiwi LIV Golf star Ben Campbell is contending at the Asian Tour's International Series Morocco tournament, inside the top-five after the second round.
Campbell fired a bogey-free five-under 68 on day two on Friday (Saturday NZ Time) to climb to a tie for fifth at five-under, four strokes behind the 36-hole leader, Zimbabwean Scott Vincent, a former LIV Golf player.
