(Reuters) - Lexi Thompson took advantage of ideal morning conditions with a red-hot start as she charged into a share of the lead in the second round of the Meijer LPGA Classic in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Friday.

The 20-year-old American birdied six of her first eight holes in dazzling sunshine on the way to a bogey-free, seven-under-par 64 at Blythefield Country Club for a nine-under total of 133.
