Maude-Aimee Leblanc had just one bogey as she finished with a three under 68 in Friday’s second round at the Palos Verdes Championship.
That left Leblanc tied for sixth at five under, four shots behind leader Hannah Green going into the weekend.
“I saved a lot of pars. My putting was really good. Just little hiccup on number eight. Other than that, it’s pretty solid,” said Leblanc.
Facing calmer conditions than in the previous round, Leblanc averaged 290 yards off the tee and hit 14 of 18 greens for the second consecutive day. With tricky pin positions and firm greens, she said it’s difficult to go pin hunting.
“Definitely more centre of the green. I don’t think we go at any pins unless it’s a wedge in. I hit the ball really high with a lot of spin, so I think that’s an advantage here because the greens are so firm, so I can kind of somewhat get some control over it,” said Leblanc, adding that her distance off the tee is an advantage.
“It’s helping a lot,” she said.
“The greens are tough to hit, so when you have a short iron in or a wedge, it’s a huge advantage,” said Leblanc, who was the lone Canadian to make the cut.
