Just Windy in Wales, But Still Tough to Score

Carin Koch took the 2nd-round lead in the S4/C Wales Ladies Championship of Europe with a fantastic 68 in windy conditions in Wales, prompting much alliteration from the LET. She's opened up a 1-shot lead on Christel Boeljon (72) and a 2-shot gap on Melissa Reid (68) and 1st-round leader Vikki Laing (74).

Everyone else of note is over par:

5th/+1 Lee-Ann Pace (74-71)
T6/+2 Anja Monke (79-67), Becky Brewerton (77-69), Anne-Lise Caudal (73-73)
T10/+3 Karen Stupples (76-71)

T13/+4 Veronica Zorzi (76-72), Titiya Plucksataporn (76-72), Becky Morgan (75-73), Helen Alfredsson (72-76)
T19/+5 Laura Davies (76-73), Sophie Giquel (74-75), Linda Wessberg (73-76)
T24/+6 Kiran Matharu (79-71), Giulia Sergas (78-72)
T31/+7 Emma Cabrera-Bello (80-71), Pernilla Lindberg (75-76)
T44/+8 Belen Mozo (78-74)
T49/+9 Ashleigh Simon (77-76), Caroline Masson (75-78)
T57/+10 Frances Bondad (78-76)

And many got put out of their misery by the cut line!

Good news: the forecast calls for more wind and rain. Seeing how "showers" have been forecast both of the 1st 2 days, that's virtually a guarantee the remaining players will stay dry!
