LA SELLA, Spain — Canada’s Anna Huang fired a second-round 66 on Friday to grab a three-stroke lead at the halfway point of the La Sella Open.
Huang sits at 14-under 130 after opening with a 64 on Thursday. The 19-year-old from Vancouver continued her composed play in breezy conditions, stringing together five birdies against a single bogey.
“It was important to stay patient,” Huang said. “The course played tougher today with the wind, but I trusted my game and kept to my plan.”
France’s Natacha Nadaud is alone in second at 9-under, while Singapore’s Shannon Tan holds third at 8-under. Spain’s Nuria Iturrioz and Australia’s Kirsten Rudgeley share fourth at 6-under, keeping the home crowd hopeful for a weekend charge.
Huang has been particularly strong on the par-5s, playing them in seven under through two rounds. She will look to maintain that momentum over the closing 36 holes.
The La Sella Open continues Saturday with the final round set for Sunday.
