The 28-year-old is a shot in front at the halfway stage
Leona Maguire has taken the lead at the woman PGA Championship as she rallied a pair of birdies at New Jersey.
Maguire carded a three-under 68 in the second round to move to five under par, one shot ahead of a three-way battle.
Eventually, she made four birdies in her final six holes to lead a major for the first time in her career.
“This is uncharted territory for me,” she said.
“Whatever happens this week, I’m sure I’ll learn a lot, and just sort of taking it one day at a time.
“I think this golf course demands that. I think you can’t think more than one shot ahead, let alone a hole or a round ahead.”
