Round 2 was filled with sunnier skies and even lower scores. Davis fired a stellar 8-under 64 bogey-free round to propel her lead to seven strokes ahead of Rachel Joyce (Pinehurst, NC, 2026). She also shot a 64, both players were just one stroke behind the course record which had been made by an Epson Tour player.
Davis’ scorecard over both days showed thirteen birdies, one eagle, and one bogey. She carded 66-64 for 130 tournament score. After losing in the playoff last year, she feels really great having gotten the win this time around. Davis said, “I felt pretty confident… keeping my strategy the same for both days.” Her approach shots and putts were her focus, “I was making a bunch of 20-footers on the first day which boosted my confidence.”
Joyce’s score of 73-64, 137 total put her in second place. She said, “I made putts left and right and was really focused on proximity on the greens which helped a lot.”
Third place was claimed by Sophie Weber of Burlington, Ontario (2026) with both days’ under-par scores of 68-70, 137 total.
