Day Two – Women’s State Amateur

The lead score at the end of day two of the Idaho Women’s State Am is the same as it was when the tournament started yesterday: even par.

Brooke Patterson led by four at the start of the day, but that wouldn’t be the case 18 holes later. A shaky back nine 40 gave way to a second round 75, but Brooke didn’t ever let go of her lead from round one. The lead though has been cut in half to two strokes.

While Patterson was setting the pace at even par for the championship, the field went to work this afternoon. Even though no player in the field broke par, there are now four players within four shots of the lead.

Kelli Ann Strand, in second place (+2), managed to piece together a 73 (+1) after a roller coaster back nine that included three birdies, a bogey, and a double bogey. Anne Bahr improved on yesterday’s round by a stroke to shoot 73 as well, bringing her into sole possession of third at +3 for the championship.

Shooting identical scores in both rounds one and two, Tyler Erickson and Payton Fehringer, are tied for fourth at +4 for the championship.

18 short holes stand in the way of a new Idaho Women’s State Amateur Champion. Follow along tomorrow on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for score updates.
