Winning, who had four birdies and five bogeys, shares 23rd place in the hunt for a top-64 spot, which will see her through to the match play stages if she remains there after today’s second round.

Rochelle Morris, of Woodsome Hall, was only two shots higher than her Yorkshire team-mate, but is close to the cut-off mark, tied 57th.
