Josephine Janson pulled ahead of the field with a 2nd round of 68, to lead by two shots from fellow Swede Amanda Strang at the Boras Ladies Open.

Janson produced birdies on the 3^rd, 9^th, 12^th, 14^th and 18^th and a lone bogey on the 17^th for a 36-hole total of seven under par, 137.

Strang had the best of starts with an eagle on the 1^st hole, mixed with birdies on the 7^th, 15^th and the 18^th, and a bogey on the 4^th, to also record a 68, to add to her first round of 71.

Hungary’s Csilla Lajtai-Rozsa (71), Michele Thomson (71) from Scotland and Sweden’s Jenny Haglund (72) are all tied for 3^rd place at two under par, 142.

Four players, Austria’s Sarah Schober (73), Maria Beautell (72) from Spain and Swedes Emily Penttila (70), and Viva Schlasberg (74) are a further shot back at 1 under and a tie for 6^th position.

Forty-two professionals and 15 amateurs made the cut, which fell at 5 over par, 149.
