Rebecca Hudson is hoping to make full use of home advantage as she goes in search of a second title in the space of three weeks at the Ladies English Open, which starts tomorrow.

England’s Rebecca Hudson fired a seven-under-par 65 to take the halfway lead at the S4C Wales Ladies Championship of Europe.
