ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) -- Sarah Jane Smith shot a 6-under 67 in tough, windy afternoon conditions Friday at Royal Adelaide to take a one-stroke lead after two rounds of the Women's Australian Open.
The Australian had a 36-hole total of 9-under 137.
American Lizette Salas shot 70 to move into a four-way tie for second. She was joined by Pornanong Phatlum of Thailand, who also shot 70, Marissa Steen of the United States, who had a 71, and Sweden's Caroline Hewwall, who birdied her final three holes for a 69.
''I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about it,'' Smith said of her chance to win her national championship.
