Cristie Kerr cruises to five-stroke lead 

CARLSBAD, California – There are no limits for Cristie Kerr. 

That’s the mindset the veteran is playing with in her 22nd season on the LPGA Tour. And this week, there appears to be no stopping her. 

Kerr fired bogey-free rounds of 67-64 to take a five-stroke lead into the weekend at the Kia Classic. Her second round of 64 was one stroke shy of matching the tournament course record at Aviara Golf Club. She sits at 13-under par 131 through 36-holes, with In-Kyung Kim, Lizette Salas, Hee Young Park and Caroline Hedwall her closest competitors at 8-under par 136.

The cut line fell at even par 144, sending home notables Paula Creamer (+2), Sung Hyun Park (+2) and Juli Inkster (+3).
