IOA Golf Classic Round 2

Moving day at the Alaqua Country Club concluded with a reshuffled leaderboard as the 36-hole cut was established. The strategic narrative was dominated by Jennifer Elliott, who managed to maintain her composure through the technical back nine to remain at the top of the standings at 6-under par.

The primary hurdle of the day was the increasing wind speed in the afternoon, which saw several early leaders struggle to find the small island green on the signature par-3 4th hole. Tactically, the day belonged to Yue Ren and Mariel Galdiano, both of whom carded rounds of 67 to climb into a tie for third at 5-under.

They now sit just one stroke behind the co-leaders, Elliott and an emerging pack of American challengers. The cut fell at +2, narrowly claiming several notable names, while Gianna Clemente remains well within striking distance despite a steady even-par second round.

With the top 15 players separated by only four shots, the final 18 holes are set to be a test of precision and mental fortitude under the Florida sun.
