Woodsome Hall’s Rochelle Morris improved on her first-round score by two shots, carding a level-par 72 with three birdies offset by three bogeys.

Morris is wearing England colours for the first time having already placed representation for Great Britain & Ireland on her CV by playing in last year's Curtis Cup win over the USA.
