Screen, 16, chipped in for a birdie at the second, before a pair of 30-foot birdie putts on the back nine left her in the ascendancy.
"The greens were so fast and everyone was struggling," she added. "It would be a big honour to win as Alice Hewson (2014 winner) is also from my home club. It would make it so much more special."
