Alexander surges clear at Women's Irish Open
Two eagles propels overnight leader Casandra Alexander to a second-round 66 as the South African seizes control of the Women's Irish Open at the K Club.
Casandra Alexander extended her lead at the Women's Irish Open, posting a second-round 66 at the K Club. The South African golfer made 13 birdies and two eagles over the first two rounds. Following a perfect 63 on Thursday, Alexander eagled the 10th hole on Friday and followed it with consecutive birdies. Dropping a shot on 13, she then picked up birdies on 17 and 18, giving her a 36-hole total of 129 and leading her by five shots.
Czech Republic's Sara Kouskova is two shots behind Alexander, sitting at 124, while Ireland's Canice Screene leads the home challenge at five under after shooting a 67. Ireland's Aine Donegan trails at two under after a 73. The absence of the Solheim Cup team in 2024 adds extra motivation to the competition.
