Intro:

Dewi Claire Schreefel holds a two shot lead at the midway stage of the Helsingborg Open.

Script:

The second round of the Helsingborg Open got underway in Sweden in warm, breezy conditions.

Kylie Walker of Scotland improved significantly on her opening one-under-par round of 71.

She carded a 68 for her second round.

One shot further behind - and one of a clutch of players at four-under-par - is Caroline Hedwell.

The Swedish golfer endured an erratic day on the course, she reached the clubhouse in 70, two-under-par, for the second day running and remains very much in striking distance of the top of the leaderboard.

Level with her at that mark is Norwegian golfer Marianne Skarpnord.

Her one-under-par round of 71 showed glimmers of her best play.

Valentine Derrey was another to post a round of 71.

A poor start to her round saw her four-over-par after just six holes.

But she fought back bravely with a run of five birdies over seven holes in a blistering spell around the turn.

One shot further ahead is Rebecca Artis after an impressive two-under-par round of 70.

Compatriot Whitney Hillier is also at five-under-par.

But the woman out in front is Dewi Claire Schreefel of the Netherlands.

She lies at seven-under-par overall and holds a two shot lead over her three closest rivals.
