Switzerland’s star Kim Metraux followed up a fantastic first day with a 5-under 67 to extend her advantage at the top of the leaderboard. Metraux, who is searching for her maiden LET victory, led overnight after an opening round of 65 (-7) at Hilversumsche Golf Club.

Starting her second round on the 10th tee, Metraux rolled in a birdie on 10 before back-to-back bogeys on 11 and 12. But the 29-year-old soon found her rhythm again with birdies on holes 13 and 17 to make the turn in one-under.

Metraux rolled in four birdies on her back nine for her round of five-under and to lead by five strokes with a total of 12-under-par.

England’s Liz Young and Singapore’s Shannon Tan are both in a share of second place on seven-under-par after 36 holes.

Germany’s Laura Fünfstuck and Czechia’s Jana Melichova are one shot further back in a tie for fourth place on six-under-par.
