Sarah Hokom matched Pierce's level of performance with a solid 2-under par score, bringing her total to an even-par 112. Her impressive putting display saw her hit 78 percent of her putts inside the circle, including two standout birdies from the edge of the circle on holes 5 and 9.
Madison Walker made waves by producing the hot round of the day, jumping up the leaderboard from sixth place to join Pierce and Hokom on the lead card. Her stunning 3-under par performance at Fiesta Lakes brought her total score to a respectable 2-over par 114. Walker's highlight reel was filled with impressive birdies, including two crucial outside-the-circle putts on holes 4 and 12.
The competition is heating up as Lisa Fajkus, Vanessa Van Dyken, and Catrina Allen all find themselves tied for fourth place at 6-over par 117 after round two. The lead card will tee off at Vista del Camino Park at 7:56 a.m. local time, as the Women's Open field looks to gain ground on Pierce and shake up the leaderboard.
