Karrie Webb (66), Angela Stanford (65), Leta Lindley (67) and Michelle Estill (68) shared third place at 134.

"Overall, I played well today," said Inkster, who has won an LPGA Tour event every year for the last seven years. "Even on my bogeys, I was in the fairway and had my chances. I hit the ball well."

Inkster still lacks a tournament win this season, having tied for second once.

Kelli Kuehne shot a 66 to move into a tie for eighth with Amy Hung and Miriam Nagl at 136.

Defending champion Helen Alfredsson missed the cut by a shot.
