Round one of the Great Lakes Open made it look like any player scoring under par could win the Open Women’s division. Round two made that point completely obvious as a frontrunner separated themselves from the pack.
How Is This Not 1000-Rated?
Sarah Hokom followed up an even-par 61 first day with a 6-under par 55 to move into the lead at 6-under par 116 total. The 993-rated round erased the single bogey Hokom picked up Friday and added an eagle on the soft par 5 2nd.
Her scramble percentage remained top in the field, and Hokom is no lower than fifth in UDisc Live’s eight highlighted statistics, adding first place in parked shots, Circle 1 in Regulation and birdies.

It’s hard to guess if Hokom is more pleased with the 100-percent Circle 1 putting on Saturday, or the two outside 10-meter putts she canned for a birdie on hole 4 and the par save on hole 8.

Two More Under Par
As a whole, round two played two strokes lower for the division, and two other players joined Hokom in carding negative scores.

Paige Bjerkaas and Ellen Widboom are tied in second at even-par 122 total after shooting 3-under par 58 and 1-under par 60, respectively. Bjerkaas, Widboom, and Hokom were the only women to not record bogeys from holes 2 through 14 on the challenging Toboggan course. Bjerkaas’ lone bogey came very early on the 477-foot par 3 1st, the third most difficult hole of the tournament. Widboom’s bogey showed up late on hole 15, a hole which was not birdied even once on the day.
The Rest Of Lead Card
Only Jessica Weese will rejoin Hokom as a member of the lead card during both moving day and the final round. Her 3-over par 64 moved her into fourth at 1-over par 123. Weese was undone by an early triple bogey on the par 4 3rd, one of the easiest holes to par on the day.
Holly Finley went 7-over par 68 to push her down to eighth place at 8-over par 130 total. She did hit two long putts from 48 and 60 feet to add a couple highlights.

Rebecca Cox went 3-over par 64 Saturday for a 4-over par 126 total and fifth place standing. She also added a highlight 60-footer for birdie.
