PHOENIX, March 19 (UPI) -- Angela Stanford fired a 6-under-par 66 for the second straight round Saturday, extending her lead after two rounds of the RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup.

Stanford ended 36 holes with a three-stroke advantage, finishing at 12-under 132 on the Wildfire Golf Club at JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa.

Stanford is seeking her fifth career LPGA win. In three of those victories she held the advantage entering the final round.

Brittany Lincicome grabbed sole possession of second place, carding a 4-under 68 to end at minus-9 at the charity tournament, in which all the prize money will be donated but will count in the players' rankings.

Many of the players have pledged donations to Japanese earthquake and tsunami relief.

Third place belonged to Mindy Kim (67) at 8-under 136 and world No. 5 Cristie Kerr (68) held fourth place at minus-7.
