“My mom promised me that if I made the cut, I could go parasailing, so that would be an adventure,” said Shon.

“Maybe not today (laughs)… Also, I told her we both had to do it.”

After rounds of 69-71, the Princeton graduate can expect to make the cut and make a reservation to do the excursion with her mom later this week. She said she was somewhat surprised to see herself up toward the top of the

leaderboard. She sits just one shot off the lead at the end of play on Friday. She said finishing her first round on Friday morning and a quick turnaround for the start of the second round turned out to be a good thing.

“I was kind of down because I’m going to have a lot of golf to play today with a lot of wind,” said Shon. “There are a lot of negatives to take from that, but I wasn’t putting the best yesterday, and I think the break was good. When I came out, I was really hot with the putter and just started making everything, so I think I got lucky with that.”

Shon finished birdie-birdie on Nos 17 and 18 to get back to 6-under par after dropping two shots on holes 15 and 16.

“I had two bogeys before that. I don’t know if that makes it better for the birdies or worse,” said Shon. “But, honestly, today was not a day when you can kind of look ahead. You had to stay within yourself and stay focused on the shot righ
