Golf: Krishna third

Auckland teenager Natasha Krishna handled the tough conditions best to move to a share of third place after two rounds of the Australian strokeplay championship women's golf tournament in Sydney yesterday.

The 17-year-old shot an impressive even-par 74 in strong winds for a one-over total of 149 to be seven shots behind Victoria's Clare Choi on six-under with Canada's Laura Mathews on three-under. New Zealand teammate Sarah Nicholson is a shot back in fifth place.
