SWEDE MOVES IN FRONT

Sweden's Emma Zackrisson surged into the lead after the second round of the Uniqa Ladies Open in Austria.

The 29-year-old shot a five-under-par round of 67, repeating her first-round score, to take a two-shot advantage at the midway stage.

First-round leader Karen Lunn was nudged down to second place after following up her opening 66 with a score of 70 at the course in Wiener Neustadt.

Australian Lunn was one shot clear of Germany's Anja Monke, who shot 70 after an opening 67.

Zackrisson said: "I'm very pleased and happy it went the same way as it went yesterday. It was very solid and nothing really happened."

England's Laura Davies, defending her title, made a positive move through the field by carding a 67, after shooting 71 on Thursday.

Davies bogeyed the 17th for the second day in a row but dropped no further shots as she moved into a seven-way share of fourth place on six under, four shots off the lead. Davies' compatriot Lisa Hall was among the group.

Davies, 44, said: "I played really well today. I hit 17 greens in regulation. I messed up on 17 again. I've played that hole badly this week so far.

"Other than that I never looked like dropping one."
