New faces are atop the leaderboard after the second 18 holes of play in the Sin City, with Dorsey Addicks taking the solo lead after her second straight round of 68 to sit at 8-under for the tournament. Erika Hara and Crystal Wang follow closely behind Addicks at 7-under after 36 holes, with Hara finding herself in contention for the second straight week.

Addicks has put together two of the most consistent rounds of the week, with a pair of 4-under rounds with no double bogeys and no more than two bogeys in each round. In the second round, the Montana native put herself into contention almost immediately, making back-to-back birdies to move to 6-under for the tournament. The first of two blemishes came on No. 12, her third hole of the day after starting on the back nine. A string of pars followed before she capped off her first nine holes with a birdie on the par-five 18th.

The second nine holes got off to slow start, with Addicks making a bogey on hole three, with no birdies to cancel it out. That changed on the fifth as she rolled in her fourth birdie of the day and added another circle to the card on the sixth. Sitting at 7-under, the Seattle University alum was tied for the lead with just three holes to play. One more birdie on the par-five eighth gave her the solo lead heading into the weekend.

“I've been playing really good golf, been hitting it well, struggled last week. It was kind of an anomaly, I just really didn't hit it well and then it just got in my head, and I couldn't get out of it,” said Addicks. “But this is kind of the golf I've being playing for a while now and just was waiting for it to show up on the Epson Tour. So, you know, going into the weekend, just continuing to play the same golf.”

Addicks will enter Saturday off her first made cut of the year, playing in just two other events in the 2025 season. The made cut will help the 30-year-old reshuffle into more events after the first reshuffle of the season coming at the completion of the Copper Rock Championship.

There are 12 players within three shots of lead, including Epson Tour winners, Agathe Laisne and Sophia Schubert, setting up for an exciting weekend.

The third round of Reliance Matrix Championship presented by Epson will begin at 7:00 a.m. local time with the leader set to take to the course at 12:00 p.m. local time.
