Ally Ewing delivering good impression of Brian Harman with strong start to Women’s British Open
There’s a golfer hailing from America’s South and with a passion for hunting who is running away with the British Open thanks to precise driving and a red-hot putter.Ally Ewing is putting up a good impression of Brian Harman as she goes for a first major title this week at Walton Heath.
Harman was 10-under par after the second round and led by five from a home hope, Tommy Fleetwood. Ewing is on the same score, holds the same lead and is also being chased by a popular English player, with Charley Hull in a three-way tie for second place. The field will look to hunt down Ewing over the weekend but will need her to slow up. She is tied for the largest 36-hole lead at the Women’a British Open since it became a major in 2001.
There was another birdie at No. 16 before a bogey at the last, after her worst swing of the day on the 18th tee, gave her rivals some hope. Ewing was 10 under overall.Top-ranked Nelly Korda shot 70 and was 1 under for the tournament – nine off the lead – like Rose Zhang, the 20-year-old American sensation in her first year of pro golf who also shot 71 in her second round.
Hull, England’s biggest hope of a home winner, had a bogey-free 68 to join Minami Katsu of South Korea and Andrea Lee of the United States in second place.
