Lydia Ko in charge at Scottish Open, Meadow makes cut

Former world number one Lydia Ko remained error-free as she opened up a two-shot lead at the halfway stage of the Trust Golf Women's Scottish Open.

Ko fired an eagle and five birdies in a second consecutive 65 and has yet to drop a shot in the co-sanctioned event at Dundonald Links.

The 25-year-old's halfway total of 14-under-par left her two shots clear of American Lilia Vu, with South Korea's Ji Eun-Hee another stroke back following a superb 64.

"I felt like I played more solid yesterday (Thursday)," Ko said. "I think I had a few more birdie opportunities today that I missed so you just have to be patient.

"I felt like I did that pretty well the last couple of days and hope to do a good job of that over the weekend and see where that puts me."

Stephanie Meadow just managed to make the cut to ensure she will stick around for the weekend.

The Northern Irishwoman followed up her first-round 72 with a 71 to sit on one-under overall, right on the cut mark.
