Round 1, Round 3, Round 4
Lauren Stephenson ended with an eagle three on the last hole for an eight-under-par 64 to take a one-stroke lead after two rounds of the Geoff King Motors Australian Ladies Classic Bonville on Friday.
Stephenson finished just ahead of 19-year-old Ayean Cho. The 2019 KLPGA Tour Rookie of the Year set the clubhouse lead with her own blistering 64 to go to 13-under after 36 holes, but it wasnโt enough to keep Stephenson from leading for a second successive day.
โI havenโt looked at any leader boards or anything. Iโm just figuring out my game,โ said 22-year-old Stephenson, from South Carolina in the United States.
She posted five birdies on the front nine, but her charge stalled with a double bogey on the 13th hole. However, she bounced back with birdies on 14, 15 and 17, followed by a brilliant eagle on the 477-yard par-5 18th.

โI hit a brilliant drive down the middle of the fairway on 18 and then I had 210 yards in, which is the perfect number for my 5-wood. I hit a really good 5-wood and that is my favourite hybrid or wood, because it goes dead straight. I had 15 feet for eagle and Iโve been making those all day, so I kept the same rhythm.
โThe birdie on the 17th was important and the par putt on 16. The 16th is honestly a really tough hole, because even though itโs short, the green is really tricky. Where that pin was today was tough and Iโm sure there were plenty of three-putts there today. I made a really nice putt for par, which was huge.โ
Cho, the world number 35 and Stephenson, the world number 179, will go head to head over the weekend and Stephenson said that she had watched the teenage phenom feature in the television coverage over the last two weeksโ LPGA events in Australia, the ISPS Handa Vic Open and the ISPS Handa Womenโs Australian Open, where she tied for 16th and sixth respectively.
โI have never played with her before but I know sheโs played really well the last two weeks and I know sheโs really young. I watched her a little bit on TV the last two weeks. I think itโs about having fun this weekend and getting confidence here. Iโve made a lot of swing changes at the end of last season and I finally feel like those are paying off and Iโm feeling more comfortable with it. Thatโs been my goal for this week, so itโs really nice to get my confidence boosted.
โIโll just take it one shot at a time and focus on what Iโm doing. At the end of the day, you canโt control what anyone else does and whoeverโs meant to win, will win. Itโs just sticking with my game plan and hitting the shots I need to hit and try to make as many birdies as I can.โ

New South Wales amateur Stephanie Kyriacou also eagled the last for a nine-under-par 63 late in the day to finish on 12-under-par and alone in third position. Her card included five birdies and two eagles, at the seventh and 18th holes.
Ladies European Tour rookie member Charlotte Thomas, Linnea Strom and Noora Tamminen are tied for fourth on seven-under, while Gemma Dryburgh, Anne Van Dam, Meghan MacLaren, Lina Boqvist, Peiying Tsai and Hye Ji Lee share seventh on six-under-par.
Englandโs Felicity Johnson eagled the last to make the cut, one of 78 players at two-over-par or better.
The third round gets under way on Saturday at 7.15am local time.
