May 20 (Reuters) - South Korea's Ryu So-yeon, propelled by six birdies in her first nine holes, seized a one-stroke lead after Friday's second round of the Kingsmill Championship in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Seeking her fourth LPGA victory, the 2011 U.S. Women's Open champion fired a seven-under-par 64 on the River Course at Kingsmill Resort after engaging in a low-scoring fest with her playing competitor Stacy Lewis.
Ryu, who has recorded three top-10s in nine starts on the LPGA Tour this season without notching a win, racked up eight birdies and a lone bogey to post a seven-under total of 135.
