Seven birdies in a row by rookie Aussie in record 62

Lynn Kenny makes the ANZ cut


but Clare Queen fails by two

Contrasting fortunes for the two Scots in the international field as Australian players occupy the top three places after 36 holes of the ANZ Ladies Masters at Royal Pines Resort, Queensland in Australia.
Lynn Kenny, who missed the cut in last week's NZ Women's Open, sailed over the hurdle this time with two rounds of 72 for level par 144.
But Clare Queen, pictured above, who did not play in New Zealand, missed the cut by two shots with an aggregate of 148, made up of rounds of 75 and 73. The early holes killed Clare's chances of surviving. She bogeyed the first, second, fourth, sixth and ninth - with a birdie at the seventh - to reach the turn in four-over-par 41.
Coming home, the Scot birdied the 13th, 16th and 17th but bogeyed the 14th and 18th for 34 back.
Lynn, in contrast, put herself in the comfort zone with birdies at the first, third and fourth. She bogeyed the sixth, ninth and 13th in halves of 36.
Young Australian rookie Kristie Smith equalled Karrie’s Webb’s course record from 2007 with a ten-under-par 62 to move to nine-under-par 135 and second place behind compatriot Nikki Campbell.
The Australian Ladies Professional Golf Tour member birdied her first seven holes, which equalled the Ladies European Tour’s all-time record for consecutive birdies set by three other players.
Marine Monnet from France was the last player to achieve that feat at the 2003 AAMI Women Australian Open at Terrey Hills. Smith led after the second round of the Australian Open at Kingston Heath as an amateur 12 months go and finished fifth in the event. She was also the leading amateur at the 2008 ANZ Ladies Masters, where she finished in equal 44th place. Australian professional Nikki Campbell, who plies her trade on the Japanese tour, has taken the outright lead on ten-under-par 134 with a second-round 65.
LPGA Tour player Katherine Hull completed an Aussie 1-2-3 with a 67 for 136.
Irish-born US Curtis Cup player Alison Walshe, now a rookie pro, is in joint eighth position on 139.
