Golf-Pettersen moves joint top at LPGA Classic

June 5 (Reuters) - Suzann Pettersen signalled that her game is in great shape for the second women's major of the year next week as she charged into a tie for the second-round lead at the Manulife LPGA Classic in Cambridge, Ontario on Friday.

The 34-year-old Norwegian, a former world number two and a winner of 14 LPGA titles, took advantage of ideal scoring conditions at Whistle Bear Golf Club as she fired a flawless seven-under-par 65.

Pettersen birdied four of her last seven holes to post a 13-under total of 131, ending the round level with Colombian Mariajo Uribe (66), who has yet to win on the LPGA Tour.
