There's plenty of pressure on Hall given that she's the defending champion on home soil, but she says she can cope with it.

"Four rounds of golf is a very long time, especially mentally and being in your home tournament it is a bit more," she said.

"But I have that experience and I dealt with the pressure last year so hopefully I won't feel nervous tomorrow [Saturday]."

Defending champion Georgia Hall finished the second round well despite dropping her first shot of the tournament on the 17th.

She'll be back out on the course at 14:10 BST.

"I loved it today, it was a very early start but there was still so many people in the stands on the first hole, " Hall told BBC Sport.

"It was so much fun and I'm really enjoying it. The home crowd are always behind me and even when I hole a three or four-footer they're always like 'come on Georgia!'

"Consistency is really important and that's what I'm trying to do this year and a par save is much more satisfying.

"The greens are soft and I'm trying to attack as many pins as I can and keep everything simple in my mentality."
