FULL LEADERBOARD

The Swiss star, who is searching for her maiden LET victory, led overnight after an opening round of 65 at Hilversumsche Golf Club.

Starting her second round on the 10th tee, Metraux rolled in a birdie on 10 before back-to-back bogeys on 11 and 12. But the 29-year-old soon found her rhythm again with birdies on holes 13 and 17 to make the turn in one-under.

Metraux rolled in four birdies on her back nine for her round of five-under and to lead by five strokes with a total of 12-under-par.

England’s Liz Young and Singapore’s Shannon Tan are both in a share of second place on seven-under-par. Germany’s Laura Funfstuck and Czechia’s Jana Melichova are one shot further back in a tie for fourth place on six-under-par.

Meanwhile Ireland's Lauren Walsh is one-under after an excellent two-under 70.

The cut fell at one-over with 68 players making it through to the final day of competition.
