The hunt for a first LPGA Tour win is on in earnest for Steph Kyriacou, who is one shot off the lead after the second round of the Americas Open in New Jersey.
In a mixed front nine at Liberty National Golf Club on Friday (Saturday AEST), world No.43 Kyriacou had bogeys on holes two, seven and nine, birdies on three and four and an eagle on the par-5 sixth.
The 24-year-old Sydneysider finished strongly in testing conditions with two more birdies on 17 and 18 to card a three-under-par 69 to sit joint-fourth at seven under, and the leading Australian.
