MEXICO CITY, March 11, 2006 (AFP) — Swedish superstar Annika Sorenstam carded a pedestrian one-under-par 71 but grabs a share of the lead after the second round of the 1.2 million dollars MasterCard Classic.

The world's best female player made her 2006 debut in smashing style, firing a bogey-free 5-under-par 67 on Friday.

On Saturday, Sorenstam carded back-to-back birdies on Nos. 3 and 4 but did not manage another until the 16th. Sorenstam also had consecutive birdies on Nos. 10 and 11 and is at 6-under 138.
