Leona Maguire back in contention as Hannah Green shoots stunning 61

Leona Maguire took advantage of the generous course to shoot a brilliant 65 in round two of the Ford Championship in Arizona.

The Cavan golfer wasn't able to take advantage of the firm conditions in round one, but made no mistake in her second round with a card containing eight birdies and just one bogey leaving her six shots behind the leader, Australia’s Hannah Green.

Green made six consecutive birdies to secure a stunning 61, leaving her on 14-under par and one shot ahead of American Sarah Schmelzel and Taiwan's Peiyun Chien at Seville Golf and Country Club.

South Korea's Hyo Joo Kim and Spain's Azahara Munoz share fourth place at 12-under.

First-round leader Pajaree Anannarukarn of Thailand, Japan's Yuka Saso, New Zealand's Lydia Ko and Germany's Caroline Masson are tied for sixth at 11-under.

Should we call this her flu game?
