Â
Anne-Sofie Ekman (Copenhagen, Denmark) had a strong day, shooting an 8-over-par, 79, in the morning, but shaved five strokes off in the afternoon. Her second round featured four birdies in route to a year-low, 3-over-par, 74. After 36 holes, Ekman is tied for 13th place with an 11-over-par, 79-74-153.
