Going into the weekend of the US Women's Open, a number of names like Leona Maguire and Rose Zhang remain in contention, but it is the World No. 455, Bailey Tardy who holds the 36-hole advantage at Pebble Beach.
After firing a first round of 69, Tardy then produced a dramatic front nine of 31, which included an eagle, four birdies and a bogey, with her one-over-par back nine meaning she would shoot a four-under 68 and take a two-shot lead into the final two rounds.
