Northland golf professional Caroline Bon has slipped to a share of eighth after two rounds of pre-qualifying in Spain for the 2012 Ladies European Tour.
The former New Zealand strokeplay champion struggled again on the back nine where she dropped five shots in her final eight holes to fall five places on the leaderboard to a one over par total.
The 24-year-old, in her second year as a professional, needs to finish inside the top 35 after four rounds to progress to the final qualification for the Ladies European Tout.
