ACT’s Nikki Campbell will be vying for her first LET title when the final round of the Turkey Airlines Ladies Open gets underway later today.

Campbell has posted consecutive one-under-par rounds of 72 at National Golf Club in Antalya to be at two-under-par and just five shots back from Klára Spilkova from the Czech Republic. The 18-year-old holds a one stroke lead over Scotland’s Vikki Laing.

After Friday’s play was washed out, the 18-year-old from Prague followed an opening round of 69 on Thursday with a second round of three-under-par 70 in fine conditions on Saturday to sit at seven-under-par after 36 holes. Laing had a four-under 69 to end six-under, with Dane Malene Jorgensen a stroke further behind.

“I’m very happy. I played well today like I did in the first round but the front nine was a little bit up and down,” said Spilkova, a third year Ladies European Tour player who combines professional tour golf with high school studies. “The driver was not as good but I holed a few good putts so I will keep going and try my best and enjoy the day.”

Laing is also in the hunt for a maiden victory after three runner-up finishes in five years on tour. The 33-year-old from Musselburgh started with a par at the 10^th but picked up five shots in four holes from the 11^th, with three successive birdies followed by an eagle on the par-5 14^th, where she used a 4-iron from 195 yards of the flag to strike the ball to three feet.

“I’m super happy with it. I got off to a really fast start and made a bunch of birdies at the beginning. I hit the ball well and made a few good putts,” said Laing. “I’m hitting it well and I’m rolling the ball well on the greens so it’s a good combination. I’m just trying to hit fairways and greens so I’ll have the same plan for tomorrow.”

Valentine Derrey of France was three strokes behind the leaders on four-under-par, with Finland’s Krista Bakker, England’s Charley Hull and first-round leader Heather MacRae of Scotland a stroke further behind in a share of fifth.

Despite a two hour delay early on Saturday morning due to electrical storms in the area, the second round was completed before darkness fell on Saturday evening, with the defending champion Lee-Anne Pace making the cut on the number at six-over-par.

Of the other Australians in the field, Stephanie Na is continuing her good form, she is currently tied for 21^st at one-over-par after rounds of 74 and 73. WA’s Whitney Hillier is a further two shots back and tied for 35^th place. Qld’s Bree Arthur also made it through Sunday on the cut number and is tied for 56^th.

Unfortunately for Australians, Maggie Yuan, Adriana Brent and Alison Whitaker all missed the cut.
