Coughlan two off the pace in Italy

Ireland's Curtis Cup star Claire Coughlan from Cork fired a 70 & 71 to lie two just shots behind the leaders at the halfway point of Ladies European Tour pre-qualifying school at Le Fonti golf club in Italy, which runs until tomorrow.

International teammate Martina Gillen (Beaverstown) is just two shots further back after rounds of 71 and 72.
