Dottie Ardina carded a 1-under-par 71 for a share of eighth place after two rounds in the Four Winds Invitational in South Bend, Indiana on Friday, Aug. 11.

The 29-year-old, who opened her campaign with a 68, fired birdies on the par-4 second and ninth holes against a lone bogey on the 10^th for a two-round tally of 139, four strokes behind solo leader Gabriela Rufels of Australia.

Rufels, who had an opening-round 70, propelled from a share of 17^th to the top of the leaderboard after a bogey-free 65 for 135.

She sizzled at the front nine with five birdies including three straight from the sixth hole, before adding two more birdies on the 12^th and 15^th.

Trailing by two strokes were Becca Huffer and Agatha Laisne with 137 after posting 68 and 69, respectively.

Meanwhile, Pauline Del Rosario salvaged an even-par 72 for 143 at joint 27^th after stumbling with a double bogey on the ninth. She made birdies on the fourth and eighth.

Clarice Guce struggled with a 74, but still made it to the cut with a 145 total for a share of 50^th.

Guce encountered a mishap on No. 17 where she made a triple bogey after a birdie on the seventh.

Not so fortunate were Abegail Arevalo (74) and Chanelle Avaricio (77), who missed the cut after limping home with 150 and 151 totals.
