TURNBERRY, Scotland (AP) Two-time champion Karrie Webb made two eagles in a second round of 1-under 71 Friday to take the clubhouse lead in the Women's British Open and stay on course for the LPGA Super Slam.

Four-time major champion Annika Sorenstam, meanwhile, looked in danger of missing the cut after a 77 left her at 6 over. Sorenstam, who won this year's Nabisco Championship, has made the cut in 74 straight tournaments, dating to the U.S. Women's Open in June 1999.

Webb - who has won the tour's other majors, including the now-defunct du Maurier Classic - reached the tournament's halfway mark at 7-under 137.

That put her two shots ahead of defending champion Se Ri Pak (72 Friday) and 1996 British Open winner Emilee Klein (71).

Still to go out, however, was surprise first-round leader Candie Kung of Taiwan, who celebrated her 21st birthday Thursday with a 65, a record for a woman on the Turnberry links.

Webb won the British Open in 1995 as a rookie and again in 1997, before it was considered a major.

Her first eagle Friday came at the par-5, 462-yard 3rd hole, where she hit a 6-iron within 15 feet of the pin.

Her second eagle came at the 17th. She hit a 2-wood 228 yards to within 7 feet.

"I obviously feel really good about it. I think 7 under will be pretty close to the lead," Webb said. "I feel I have put myself into contention to win this week."

U.S. Open champion Juli Inkster shot a 78 to drop to 9-over 153. In one stretch, she had a double bogey followed by four straight bogeys.

"I was struggling with my swing the entire week," Inkster said. "I just didn't know where it was going. But I will go home, regroup and work on my swing and I'll be just fine."

Until two weeks ago at the Sybase Big Apple Classic, Inkster, winner of seven majors in total, hadn't missed a cut all season. Now she'll have missed two in three tournaments.

Pak birdied five of the last seven, including the last two, to salvage a level par round to go with her 67 on Thursday.

The South Korean reached the turn in 40 after a double bogey and three more bogeys as she had problems with the windy conditions near the turn.

"The first nine it was really raining and horrible conditions and there was a lot of trouble out there," Pak said.

"But I still have a pretty good chance with two days left."
