Morgane Metraux leads after round two of the Olympic women’s golf 2024
August 9, 2024

Round two is now in the books of the Olympic women’s golf tournament, and the leaderboard is drastically different from how it looked after round one. We have three new players in contention after round one leader Celine Boutier of Clamart, France shot a second round score of +4 to drop from -7 to -3, and round one runner-up Ashleigh Buhai of Johannesburg, South Africa shot a second round score of +1 to drop from -4 to -3. Fascinatingly, Buhai and Boutier are the only two players in the top 13 on the leaderboard who went over par on Friday.
The leader after round two is a significant surprise. It is Switzerland’s Morgane Metraux, the 137th ranked player in the world. Metraux is at -8 after a first round score of two-under-par and a second round score of six-under-par.
In round one, Metraux had four birdies and two bogeys. She birdied the fifth, 13th, 17th, and 18th holes, and bogeyed the eighth and 12th holes. Then in round two, Metraux had a spectacular front nine where she went eight under par. Not all shots Metraux made were birdies. That is because she had four birdies and two eagles. Metraux birdied the first, fourth, fifth, and sixth holes, and eagled the third and ninth holes, Â Then on the back nine, Metreaux shot two over par. She birdied the 14th hole, and bogeyed the 13th, 15th, and 18th holes.
Two more players are in contention. 2023 Women’s PGA Championship winner Ruoning Yu of China is alone in second place at -7, and New Zealand’s Lydia Ko is alone in third place at -5. Ko is a two-time major champion as she won the 2015 Evian Championship and the 2016 ANA Inspiration.
