Australia’s Minjee Lee and Megan Khang of the USA are tied for the halfway lead at the Women’s Scottish Open.

Khang birdied the last hole for a second successive round of 68 at Dundonald Links to make up a shot on overnight leader Lee, with both at eight under par.

England’s Charley Hull also enjoyed a 68 to jump up to a share of third place on six under.

Hull is joined by American Lauren Coughlin and New Zealand’s Lydia Ko, who won gold at the Paris Olympics.

“I played pretty solid today,” Hull told lpga.com., external “It was super windy out there this morning, and I was pretty cold, but I felt like it was a pretty good score. Made a few birdies and an eagle on 18, as well. I’m pretty happy with my game.”

Mary Liu of China and Germany’s Esther Henseleit, who took silver in Paris, are joint sixth on three under.

English pair Cara Gainer and Georgia Hall are in a cluster of nine players at two under.

The three Scots in the field, Gemma Dryburgh, Kylie Henry and Laura Beveridge, all missed the cut mark for the weekend, which was four over par.
