AMERICAN teenager Lexi Thompson has taken a two-shot lead after the second round of the Dubai Ladies Masters yesterday and is looking to become the second youngest winner on the European Tour.
The 16-year-old Thompson, who is the youngest LPGA Tour winner, strung together six birdies on her way to a bogey-free 6-under 66 and a total of 138 for the tournament. Tied for 16th after the first day, Thompson got her short game working.
Swedish veteran Sophie Gustafson (67) and Margherita Rigon (68) were two shots back. Michelle Wie is four shots back after a 67. The 22-year-old American, who is looking for her first win of the year, bounced back from an opening round 73 in which her shaky putting led to three bogeys.
Yesterday, Wie had a bogey-free round and sank several key birdie putts, including a 30-footer on No. 12. She had five birdies overall.
"A little frustrated after the last two holes, but I kept steady out there today," said Wie, who missed a 12-foot birdie putt on No. 18. "I made a couple more putts, and I have two more days to try and shoot some more low scores. I'm still in contention, and going to go out there tomorrow, shoot another low round."
