Lottie Woad can’t match the birdie she managed on the first yesterday as her putt just slips past the right edge of the hole.
She tidies up for par.

Woad E, Ko +1, Vu +3 (1)

A positive attempt for Lottie Woad with the birdie but she just misses the hole, and taps in for a birdie putt at the first.
Lydia Ko also misses a birdie putt and has to settle for par but Lilia Vu begins her second round with a bogey.

Nelly Korda made a very solid start to her Women's Open campaign, carding three birdies and a solitary bogey for a two-under round of 70 on Thursday.
"I definitely made some really good par saves on the back overall," said the world number one.
"The wind definitely picks up when you get closer to the water. You're starting to hit your shots into the water. Overall I'm happy with my scorecard. I would say it was pretty clean."
The American will be teeing off in the next five minutes or so.

Lottie Woad actually just caught the first cut with her tee shot, rather than the fairway.
Her approach lands just short of the green but chases on towards the back right edge.
She has around 30 feet for birdie.

Big crowds have gathered early this morning to follow the pre-tournament favourite England’s Lottie Woad as well as defending champion Lydia Ko.
Cheers aplenty for Woad who finished level par yesterday, her drive finds the fairway on the first.
Woad five off lead overnightpublished at 08:16 BST 1 August

Lottie Woad was the player that everybody was talking about heading into this year's Women's Open.
She shot a level-par first round to lie five shots off the lead jointly held by Japanese duo Eri Okayama and Rio Takeda overnight.
England's Woad began as favourite at Royal Porthcawl, having won two events and narrowly missing out on a first major title in July.
The 21-year-old, playing in her second tournament since turning professional, made lengthy birdie putts at the first and sixth holes as she reached the turn in level par.
A superb approach to within four feet set up another birdie at the 14th and Woad also birdied the last to sign for a 72.
However, she was unable to build any real momentum during her opening round and some solid putting for pars and bogeys prevented irretrievable damage to her tournament chances.
"It was a bit mixed," Woad said. "It's one of those rounds that could have got away from me so I am happy I hung in there."

The conditions are quite different this morning at Royal Porthcawl to yesterday.
The flags are barely billowing in the breeze and the sea below the first green is very calm.
Could be some good early scoring today.
