The Indian star, who won the 2016 Hero Women’s Indian Open, followed up her first round of 67 (-6) with another consistent day at Vipingo Ridge to sit at the top of the leader board on nine-under-par after 36 holes at Vipingo Ridge.

Diksha Dagar, Vani Kapoor and Seher Atwal missed the cut.

Three-time LET winner Ashok only dropped one shot during the second day and rolled in four birdies on the Baobab Course.

It was good I think for the most part I played pretty consistently today, said Ashok.

There was just one dropped shot which was good.I feel I could have driven it a bit better and hit it closer than I did but overall, it was a good day.I don’t know why my driving was a little off.Maybe I didn’t warm up as well this morning or I guess when the wind picked up, I couldn’t find my rhythm.

Thailand’s April Angurasaranee sits in second place on four-under-par after carding a second consecutive round of 71 (-2) in Kenya.

The 18-year-old who came through the LET Q-School in December made four birdies and two bogeys on day two at Vipingo Ridge and is aiming to finish in the top 10 this week.

Last year’s runner-up Marta Sanz Barrio sits in third place on three-under-par after shooting a round of 72 (-1) on day two.

Three players sit in a share of fourth place with English duo Alice Hewson and Cara Gainer alongside Belgium’s Manon De Roey on two-under-par.

It was a bogey-free round of 69 (-4) for De Roey who rolled in birdies on holes two, six, 11 and 13 to move up the leader board.
