T&T's Di­nesh Jack­ree and Ys­abelle Lawrence each played sol­id rounds to place on the up­per half of the 122-play­er leader­board as ac­tion came to a close on the sec­ond day of the British Ju­nior Open Cham­pi­onship at the Fairhaven Golf Club in Lan­cashire, Eng­land yes­ter­day. Jack­ree fol­lowed up his first day 83 with an 86 on the Par 74 course to join three oth­ers for 48th place with 169. Lawrence mean­while shared the 57th spot with two oth­ers on 175 (88 + 87). Japan's Asu­ka Kashi­wabara (135) con­tin­ued to dom­i­nate, adding 69 yes­ter­day to com­fort­ably lead Eng­land's Gabriel­la Cow­ley (74+72=146) and Malaysian Khai Jei Low (76+72 = 148), who are in sec­ond and third re­spec­tive­ly.

Af­ter an ex­cit­ing open­ing cer­e­mo­ny on Sun­day with de­fend­ing British Open Cup cham­pi­on Daren Clarke and an op­por­tu­ni­ty to lift the Claret Jug, the ju­niors were out ear­ly on Mon­day morn­ing to face a course that would be dif­fer­ent to the prac­tice round. Both Jack­ree and Lawrence set­tled in to face the ad­di­tion­al chal­lenges of wind and rain. Roughs and bunkers called for pre­cise course man­age­ment and an ad­just­ment in putting speed as the greens played much slow­er with the rain than yes­ter­day. Di­nesh brought in 40 and 42 to fin­ish the day at +8 while Ys­abelle brought in 41 and 47 to fin­ish at +14. The day's best score was 8 un­der 66 by Kashi­wabara of Japan. Both play­ers are in good spir­its and feel quite com­fort­able with the con­di­tions on the course.
