Galloway (United States) (AFP) - American Morgan Pressel, seeking her first LPGA title since 2008, fired a two-under par 69 to maintain her lead after the second round of the Shoprite Classic.

The 27-year-old US standout stood on seven-under 135 through 36 holes at the 54-hole event, one stroke ahead of Sweden's Anna Nordqvist as she pressed for her first victory since the 2008 Kapalua Classic.
