Hannah Green's quest for a third-straight title is in full swing after the world No.7 moved two strokes clear of the field at the midway point of the Australian WPGA Championship.
The West Australian's hot streak continued at Gold Coast's Sanctuary Cove on Friday, shooting a four-under 67 to sit alone at 10 under entering the weekend.
It follows a breakthrough triumph at the Australian Open in Adelaide last Sunday and victory at Singapore's Women's World Championship, her seventh LPGA title.
Victory at the $600,000 event would secure a unique Australian golfing double, given the Karrie Webb Cup has only been contested once before.
Bogey-free on Thursday, Green's second round was far more colourful as she mixed six birdies and an eagle with a double bogey and another dropped shot.
She had three birdies in four holes to jump clubhouse leader Meghan MacLaren (eight under) before finding the water on the par-three sixth and carding a five.
But Green responded by putting her second shot on the par-five seventh within eight feet of the flag and nailing the eagle putt.
Another long-range birdie putt on the 13th edged Green further ahead, although Germany's Alexandra Forsterling holed a monster of her own on the 18th to card a five-under 66 and finish three back.
England's MacLaren (68) held onto second while Harang Lee, Alessandra Fanali, Vanessa Knecht and Casandra Alexander were a shot further adrift of Forsterling at six under.
Hannah Reeves backed up her first-round 67 with 70 to sit at five under, while compatriot Sarah Kemp was a shot further back.
But LPGA talent Steph Kyriacou's tough run continued, missing the two-over cut line by five shots after also missing the cut in Adelaide.
