SCOTLAND'S Kylie Walker shot a 68 to finish day two in a share of second behind Dewi Claire Schreefel of the Netherlands, who carded a second round of 70 at Vasatorps Golfklubb, in Sweden's Helsingborg Open.
At seven under par, the 28-year-old from Alkmaar is two shots ahead of Walker and Australians Whitney Hillier (72) and Rebecca Artis (70), the defending champion.
"I played solid again today and just had a little hiccup on five where I had a double, but I'm playing good," said Schreefel. "I'm hitting the ball solid and seeing my lines, so I'm happy."
Walker has already won two titles in play-offs on the Ladies European Tour this season and boosted her chances of a third win with a bogey-free 68. "My game is good and I'm really enjoying it and the course is great this week so I'm having a great time," Walker said. "The conditions were maybe slightly tougher today and I hit the ball a lot better.
"Yesterday was a little scrappy so I'm a lot happier today."
England's Laura Davies made an eagle 2 on the par-four eighth for the second day running, but otherwise struggled with her game and could only add a 76 to her opening 69 to lie one over par.
Last week's Aberdeen Asset Management Ladies Scottish Open winner Trish Johnson and compatriot Charley Hull ended on six and eight over par respectively to miss the halfway cut.
