(Reuters) - Dani Holmqvist took a one-shot halfway lead at the women's British Open on Friday after braving the rough conditions at Royal Troon to become the only player in the field to make the cut with an under-par score. "Conditions were really tough," she said. "I felt like it was brutal out there but I'm happy to get in under par. American Austin Ernst, who also carded 70, and Germany's Sophia Popov (72) were tied for second at even par. Defending champion Hinako Shibuno also suffered a woeful second round of 78 and missed the cut after slipping to 12-over.
