Bon hopes to qualify for a spot on the European Tour

Northland golf professional Caroline Bon has progressed to the final stage of qualifying for the Ladies European Tour in 2012.

The former New Zealand strokeplay champion finished on an 11-over-par total for a share of 28th place at the La Manga South and North Course in Spain.

Bon, 24, in her second year playing as a professional, needed to place inside the top 35 after four rounds to progress to the final qualification for the Ladies European Tour.

Bon needs to finish inside the top 30 players to be eligible for the tour. Earlier this week Bon was in a six-way share of third place after one round.

Meanwhile, Waikato golfers Sarah Bradley and Emily Perry are the best of the Kiwis after two rounds at the Lake Macquarie Women's Amateur at the Belmont Golf Club in Melbourne.

Bradley, 24, is eighth after rounds of 73 and 77 while the 20-year-old Perry is ninth equal after rounds of 74 and 77.

Australian Whitney Hillier leads the tournament by five shots after a five-under 68 in round two.

New Zealand No1 amateur Ben Campbell leads the way for the Kiwis at the Australian Master of the Amateurs at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club.

The 20-year-old had rounds of 73 and 75 to be in a share of 13th place. Campbell will head into the third round nine shots back from the leader Nathan Holman. Auckland rep Sam An was tied for 17th place at the halfway stage.
