Sweden's Hedwall makes history as first woman to solo lead European Tour event
Hedwall made two eagles in a spectacular eight-under-par 64 in the second round in Gothenburg.
PARIS (AFP) - Sweden s Caroline Hedwall made history on Friday by becoming the first woman to hold the solo lead after a round of a European Tour event at the Scandinavian Mixed tournament.
Austrian Christine Wolf had sat in a tie for the lead after the opening round, but Hedwall went one better on day two.
The 32-year-old, a six-time winner on the Ladies European Tour, made two eagles in a spectacular eight-under-par 64 in the second round in Gothenburg.
Hedwall leads by one shot on 13-under overall, ahead of Dutchman Joost Luiten.
"I was a bit lucky out there today," she told europeantour.com. "I made two eagles and made a bunker shot -- it was very enjoyable!
"If you look at the leaderboard, it looks like they have set it up pretty fair, but it s hard to judge.
"I think looking at the mix of the players on the leaderboard, I think they have done a good job because it s obviously tough."
England s Steven Brown and South African Darren Fichardt are tied for third, two strokes behind Hedwall.
