CHARLESTON, South Carolina: Aussie Karrie Webb shot a
6-under 66 to share the lead at 13-under following the second round
of the LPGA Ginn Tribute tournament on Friday.
Her co-leader is Sweden’s
Sophie Gustafson who shot a 7-under-par 65. Starting on the 10th
hole, Gustafson got out of the gate quickly, making birdies on Nos.
11, 13 and 14.
She also birdied two of the final
three holes during her bogey-free round.
“I was happy with my score but
not my game after the first round,” Gustafson said. “But I
worked on the range and it was better today.”
Tied for the lead after the first
round, Webb managed to stay atop leaderboard. The 33-year-old
Australian had six birdies, two bogeys and eagled the par-5 third
hole for the second straight day.
The three-time British Open
Champion has 35 career victories but still is searching for her
first since 2006.
“I have missed a few chances
over the first two rounds, so I have to be happy with my scores,”
Webb said. “I feel I’m ready to win again.”
Webb and Gustafson hold a
four-shot lead over Teresa Lu and Inbee Park, who are tied for third
at nine-under. Suzann Pettersen fired a 7-under 65 to move into a
three-way tie for fifth place at eight-under.
Annika Sorenstam, who finished
her first round tied for 58th at even-par 72, shot an 8-under 66 on
Friday and is in a logjam with eight others for eighth, seven shots
off the pace.
