LEADERBOARD

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – With 18 holes remaining at the Chattanooga Classic, Duke women's golf's Anne Chen is two shots off the individual lead with a 3-under-par, 141, at the 6,234-yard, par-72 Council Fire Golf Club in Chattanooga, Tenn.

A native of Sugar Land, Texas, Chen fired a 3-under, 69, in round two, which included six birdies on the afternoon. Her 3-under, 141, is a career-best for the Blue Devil sophomore. She is two shots off the lead, which is held by UTSA's Hannah Holzmann (139).   Chen is one of only six golfers under par and is fourth overall.

Chen had her irons dialed in from the start as she opened her day in style by hitting her sand wedge from 94 yards on No. 2 to one feet for a tap-in birdie and then hit her 7-iron from 154 yards on No. 4 for another tap-in birdie. She suffered a double-bogey on the fifth hole, but went on another birdie streak. Chen hit her 50-degree wedge from 100 yards on No. 6 and 104 yards on No. 8 for a seven-foot and 2-foot birdie putts to return to 2-under. She then hit her 9-iron from 126 yards for another tap-in birdie and made the turn at 3-under, 33. Chen had a bogey on No. 11, seven pars and then hit a grip-down 7-iron from 145 yards to eight feet on No. 18 to close the day.

She hit 16 greens, nine fairways and rolled 30 putts in round two.

With three birdies over her final 10 holes, freshman Rylie Heflin was 1-under-par to close her round for the second straight day. A product of Avondale, Pa., Heflin held a 5-over ledger on four different holes on the front nine, while collecting a two-foot birdie on No. 3. She turned it around on the back nine by birding No. 10 and No. 12. She hit her pitching wedge from 115 yards to 10 feet for the first birdie and then striped her 6-iron from 140 yards into the wind to 10 feet and rolled in another birdie.

Heflin had three pars and two bogeys over the next five holes, but closed the day by hitting her 58-degree wedge from 66 yards to eight feet for birdie. She hit 11 greens, nine fairways and had 31 putts. Heflin is tied for 33rd overall with 150.

Junior Megan Furtney turned in a 78 on Monday and is tied for 55th with a 155. She was even-par through five holes as she notched three pars, a bogey on No. 2 and on the 361-yard, par-4 third hole she hit her gap wedge to 20 feet and rolled in the birdie. Furtney, who is from St. Charles, Ill., was 7-over during a span of nine holes in the middle of her round, but closed her day on No. 18 with a birdie as she drained a six-foot putt. She hit 13 greens, 10 fairways and had 34 putts on the day.

Duke will open its final round beginning at 8:50 a.m., off hole No. 1.
