EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France — Helen Alfredsson shot a course-record 9-under 63 yesterday to pull within a shot of leader Angela Park after the second round of the Evian Masters.

Park shot a 68 in her second straight bogey-free round, giving her a 10-under total of 134.

The 43-year-old Alfredsson made four birdies on the front nine and five on the back at the Evian Royal Resort to beat the old course mark of 64 held by six players.

"This is my favorite stop on the Tour, period," the 1994 and '98 Evian winner said. "To have a course record is very special. I know the course so well and obviously love it here."

Five players are another shot back at 8 under — 2003 champion Juli Inkster, Cristie Kerr of the United States, South Korean duo Kim In-kyung and Meena Lee, and Candie Kung of Taiwan.

Overnight leader Lorena Ochoa is at 6-under 138 after shooting a 73.
