Ireland’s Leona Maguire lies one shot off the lead in a share of second place after round two of the LPGA Mediheal Championship in California.
The world number 92, who led by a stroke after a first-round of seven-under-par 65, struggled at the start of the second round in Daly City.
Maguire bogeyed the first three holes and then posted four birdies and two bogeys in the remainder of her round.
Her one-over-par 73 leaves her left her six under for the tournament.
The Cavan woman led by a stroke after a first round of seven-under 65 but those three dropped shots at her first three holes of round two saw her drop back.

The 26-year-old shares second place with American Lauren Kim, whose compatriot Danielle Kang led the field at seven-under after a 66.
