Bermuda's Patsy McLaughlin and Canadian Heather Colhoun leapt to the top of the leader board with a net 63 in yesterday's second round of the Eighth Annual Ladies' Invitation Tournament at Mid Ocean.

The pair's two-round total of 131 puts them two strokes clear of first-round joint leaders Bea Williams of Bermuda and her South Carolina playing partner Brenda Helmer in the competition for the Arton Trophy.

Bermuda's Shirley Wildi and her Florida teammate Reggie Hawes who held a share of the lead after the first day's play dropped to third in the net contest yesterday, with Zita Legere and Patricia Sheehan of the US.

However, Wildi and Hawes boasted the best gross score for the second day in row -- shooting a 72 to add to their opening day 71.

Their two-round gross total of 143 puts them three shots ahead of their nearest rivals Bermuda's Madeline Joell and her teammate Robyn Roberson of Georgia who shot the second best round of the day yesterday -- a 73.

Bermuda's Jean Mylrea and Ginette Spinucci of Georgia are in contention for both gross and net honours, lying third in the former and fifth in the latter.

Lady Langley and her Canadian partner June Eyton, and Judy Kitson of Bermuda and her teammate Maisie Barlow of Pennsylvania are the other pairings in contention for the net prize.
