Rogers, AR (Sports Network) - Veronica Felibert carded a 5-under 66 Saturday and pushed her lead to four strokes after two rounds of the NW Arkansas Championship.

Felibert, an LPGA Tour rookie, finished 36 holes at 11-under-par 131. She established a new tournament 36-hole record with her total of 131.

The old record of 132 was set by Meena Lee and Eun-Hee Ji in 2008, then matched by Michelle Wie in 2010.

Mika Miyazato fired a 6-under 65 to move into a share of second place at minus-7. She was joined there by Inbee Park, the 2008 U.S. Women's Open champion. Park shot 3-under 68 in round two at Pinnacle Country Club.

Last week's winner Brittany Lang fired an 8-under 63 to soar into a share of fourth place at 6-under-par 136. She stands alongside LPGA Championship winner Shanshan Feng (70), Katie Futcher (67), Ryann O'Toole (68) and Ai Miyazato (68), who is no relation to Mika.

World No. 1 Yani Tseng, who won this title the last two years, stumbled to a 74 and missed the cut by four strokes. Michelle Wie also has the final round off as she missed the cut for the sixth time in her last seven stroke-play events.
