Caveney carded 23 pars over Monday’s 36 holes, including eight-straight from hole No. 1 through hole No. 8 on the front nine of the second round, heading towards the finish. Sitting at 1-over par with three holes to play, Caveney carded a third bogey and a double-bogey on her final hole of the day to be relegated to 5-over par, 77.
