Sophie Gustafson shot a 68 to move into a share of second place at 7-under 137. She was tied with Teresa Lu (69).

Na Yeon Choi and H.J. Choi both shot 68 and are tied for fourth at minus-six. Annika Sorenstam, one of three first-round leaders, turned in a 73 that dropped her into a share of seventh at 140.

"I thought it was very windy. It was gusting at times," said Sorenstam. "It was tough to figure out if it was downwind or into the wind because a lot of holes it was cross."
