LPGA Williams grabs lead at Michelob

She shot a tournament record 63 and leads by four strokes.
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) -- Kim Williams has been around long enough to know that a sparkling second round in a golf tournament guarantees little.
"I am just happy I made the cut," she said.
But Williams sparkled more than anyone has in the two-year history of the Michelob Ultra Open at Kingsmill Golf Club, shooting an event record 8-under-par 63 Friday and taking a four-shot lead into the weekend.
Williams posted one of the few bogey-free rounds of the first two days, and made six birdies and an eagle on the 6,270-yard layout. It was the best round of her 16-year career. She's still seeking her first victory, but said it's too early to start thinking about celebrating.
"Can you tell me who was leading halfway through the Super Bowl? No. Can you tell me who was leading halfway through the Boston Marathon? No," she said. "You know who won. ... I have led the U.S. Open after the first day a couple of times. All it gets you is making the cut."
Williams has a long way to go before worrying about winning. The tournament's $2.2 million purse is the third-largest on the women's tour, and has attracted as start-studded a crowd as the LPGA can offer.
Sorenstam still alive
Among those seemingly poised the make a move is Annika Sorenstam, who showed with one swing why she's the best female player in the world.
Buried in thick rough 45 feet from the hole on the par-3 17th hole at Kingsmill, Sorenstam chipped in Friday, the highlight of an otherwise frustrating day that kept her within striking distance.
Still, she was within eight of the lead with two rounds to go.
"I don't think anything went my way today," the six-time player of the year said after an even-par 71. "One shot. One shot on 17 went in. Other than that, I haven't made a putt (longer) than 3 feet.
"I am frustrated as much as you can be," she said. "It's just one of those days when you want to leave the place and start over, really."
Wie is at 3-under
Teenage sensation Michelle Wie also declared herself in contention after a bogey-free 67 that included four birdies and a still-balky putter.
She was at 3-under 139, one shot ahead of Sorenstam.
"I think I positioned myself very well today," the 14-year-old Wie said. "I just have to play two more good rounds and I think I am in the hunt."
Wie needed 29 putts Friday, one more than she used Thursday.
Williams' closest pursuers were fellow non-winners Soo-Yun Kang and Christina Kim, and there were some heavy hitting names not far behind.
Among those five back are Jennifer Rosales, coming off a win last week, who had five consecutive birdies on the front in a 67, and Cristie Kerr, who was 7 under after 13 holes before giving a stroke back and shooting 65.
Both are at 136, as is Suzann Pettersen, who shot 67 in her second event since January surgery to remove bone chips from her right elbow.
