Schmelzel played an aggressive game during the second round. Speaking about her performance at the end of the second day, Schmelzel said via the LPGA Tour:
"Just staying really patient out there and aggressive off the tee was kind of our game plan this week. I drove (the ball) really well, so fortunately able to take advantage of having some shorter irons in today."
