Daytona Beach, FL (My Sportsbook) - Michelle Wie fired a seven-under 65 on Thursday to move into a share of the lead after the second round of the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament.
Wie's 65 was her lowest round in competition since the second round of the 2005 Samsung World Championship.
She finished 36 holes at 10-under 134 and was joined in first by overnight leader Shiho Oyama, who posted a two-under 70 in the second round.
"I was pretty consistent today," said Oyama. "I hit almost every green today, so that helped. I like the Legends course, but I made a 64 on the Champions course yesterday, so I like that one better. I just have to try to focus on my game for tomorrow and play well."
The first 72 holes are played on both the Legends and Champions courses at LPGA International, while players play only the Champions course during the final round. The cut will reduce the field to the low-70 players and ties after 72 holes.
Wie posted her 65 at the Champions Course, while Oyama, ranked 42nd in the Rolex Rankings, shot her 70 at the Legends Course on Thursday.
Stacy Lewis, whose win at the 2007 NW Arkansas LPGA Championship was unofficial because the event was shortened to 18 holes by rain, carded a six- under 66 at the Legends Course and is alone in third place at nine-under-par 135.
Lewis won the 2007 NCAA Championship at the Legends Course.
"I am here to win and, hopefully, I will make some more birdies," said Lewis. "It's a marathon this week. You just have to stay patient and that's what I really tried to do today. I was over par early, then I just needed to putt more. I just have to go make some more birdies."
Mollie Fankhauser and Amy Yang both posted rounds of one-under 71 at the Legends Course on Thursday to share fourth place at six-under 138.
Janell Howland (67) and Lisa Strom (66) are knotted in sixth place at five- under 139.
Carolina Llano (70), Sophie Giquel (68) and amateur Mika Miyazato (74) share eighth at minus-four.
