Aussie Karrie Webb shot a six-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 seven-under-par 65.

Starting on the 10th hole, Gustafson got out of the gate quickly, making birdies on numbers 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-five 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 seven-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 a eight-under 66 on Friday and is in a logjam with eight others for eighth, seven shots off the pace.
