Annika Sorenstam moved into contention for an LPGA Tour-record sixth straight Mizuno Classic title, shooting a 6-under 66 on Saturday to finish the second round two strokes behind leader Momoko Ueda.

Coming off a six-stroke victory Sunday in the Ladies European Tour's Dubai Ladies Masters, Sorenstam had six birdies in her bogey-free round to finish at 7-under 137 on the Kashikojima Country Club course.

Ueda, one of 35 Japan LPGA players in the 76-player field, was 9 under after a 64.

Australian star Karrie Webb, a four-time winner this year on the LPGA Tour, was a stroke back after a 67, while first-round leader Rachel Hetherington (72) was 7 under along with Sorenstam, 21-year-old Japanese star Ai Miyazato (68), Brittany Lang (69), Aree Song (68), Yun Hee Ku (65) and Jeong Eun Lee (65).

Lorie Kane of Charlottetown carded a 2-over 74 and fell into a tied for 47th.

Sorenstam won the 2001 Mizuno title at Musashigaoka and took the last four at Seta to become the first LPGA Tour player to win a tournament five straight times and match the record she shares with Mickey Wright for victories in an event.

The 36-year-old Swede also had a chance to win the Samsung Championship for the sixth time last month in her last LPGA Tour start, but lost a final-round lead to Lorena Ochoa. Sorenstam has three LPGA Tour victories this season, including her third U.S. Women's Open title, to push her career total to 69. She also has won twice on the European tour and teamed with Liselotte Neumann to win the Women's World Cup.
