Currently the medalist lead belongs to Sasikarn Somboonsup of Texas State. Somboonsup sits at 4-under and she is the only player under-par.
Ahead by four shots, Somboonsup did most of her work during her first round 4-under 68 as she carded six birdies and only two bogeys.
Somboonsup second round was a bit more of an adventure and in fact she is fortunate to still have a comfortable lead. Teeing of on No. 4 Somboonsup birdied her first three holes and seven overall during the round but she also carded two double-bogeys and three bogeys during her even-par 72 round.
