Emma Talley Smith remains tied for third at the Vic Open in Victoria, Australia after shooting rounds of 67 and 69 on two different courses on Thursday and Friday.
The former Caldwell County standout is 9-under overall and just one shot behind second place.
However, Talley trails leader Cassie Porter by six shots.
Through 36 holes, Emma has 11 birdies, two bogeys and 23 pars.
The third round is Saturday in Australia, but with the 17-hour time difference that is Friday afternoon and Friday night in the United States.
