Duramed FUTURES Tour Q-School -- Round 2

The 22-year-old reigning BC Amateur champion from Richmond, BC is just six shots behind the tournament leader, Amateur Pernilla Lindberg of Bollnas, Sweden who posted a career-low 6-under-par 66 at Huntington Hills Golf and Country Club to lead all players through second-round play at 9-under 135.

Meixner and Lindberg recently competed against each other in the Women's World Amateur Team Championship in Adelaide, Australia. Sweden won the title, Canada finished fourth.

Lindberg overcame a four-stroke deficit to first-round leader Maria Hernandez (76) of Pamplona, Spain. LPGA Tour member Hannah Jun (67) of San Diego, Calif., climbed to one shot behind Lindberg with a two-day total of 136 (-8).

Jieun Oh (68) of Jejudo, South Korea, is in solo third at 6-under-par 138. Fourth-ranked collegian Jane Chin (66) of Mission Viejo, Calif., and 16-year-old high school amateur Victoria Kiser (69) of Orlando, Fla., are four strokes back with a two-round score of 139 (-5).

Meixner is one of the 20 Canadian players remaining in the field.

The 312-player field is competing off the first and 10th tees at Cleveland Heights, Huntington Hills and Imperial Lakes - all in the Greater Lakeland area. The first, second and third rounds are being played on all three courses with each contestant playing each course once before the final round at Cleveland Heights.
