French golfer Karine Icher matched the Bay Course record with a nine-under 62 to take the second-round lead in the ShopRite LPGA Classic.
The 31-year-old, winless on the tour, had nine birdies in a 13-hole stretch in the round that started on No.10 at Stockton Seaview.
She tied the record on the Donald Ross-designed course set by Laura Davies in 2005 and matched by Jimin Kang that year and Jennifer Johnson in 2014.
Icher leads at 12 under and is one shot clear of South Korea's Na Yeon Choi and Japan's Haru Nomura.
Defending champion Anna Nordqvist, tied for the first-round lead after a 64, had a 68 to drop to fourth at 10 under.
Karrie Webb is the best-placed Australian at five under in a tie for 21st after shooting a second-round 70.
