Sylvania, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Laura Diaz birdied four of the last six holes
Friday to remain tied for the lead after two rounds of the Jamie Farr Owens
Corning Classic.
Diaz carded a four-under 67 to complete two rounds at 11-under-par 131, where
she shared the lead with Sarah Kemp, who fired an eight-under 63 Friday.
Morgan Pressel, who shared the first-round lead with Diaz and Song-Hee Kim,
shot three-under 68 to complete two rounds at minus-10.
Seon Hwa Lee also fired a 63 to move into a share of fourth at nine-under-par
133. She was joined there by Jiyai Shin (67) and Natalie Gulbis (65).
Michelle Wie remains close to the lead after posting a two-under 69. She
shares seventh at minus-eight, while women's world No. 1 Lorena Ochoa (68) is
tied for 13th at seven-under-par 135.
Diaz played a steady round starting on No. 10 at Highland Meadows Golf Club.
She parred her first 12 holes before making birdie on the par-four fourth for
the second day in a row.
After a par on five, Diaz birdied six and seven, from 15 feet and three feet
respectively, to get within one of the lead. She closed with a 12-foot birdie
putt at the last to join Kemp at 11-under.
"I didn't make any birdies on my front side, but I just tried to stay patient
out there," said Diaz, whose last win was at the 2002 Corning Classic. "I
haven't been in place to be looking at the scoreboard in the last several
months, so I really just was trying to stay in my own world."
Kemp also started on the back nine and birdied the 10th from 12 feet out. She
gave that stroke back with a bogey on the par-four 12th. Kemp bounced back
with a six-foot birdie putt on the 14th and made the turn at minus-five thanks
to a birdie on No. 18.
The Australian, who was in the third group out in the morning wave, dropped in
back-to-back birdies from the second. After a par on the third, Kemp poured in
four consecutive birdies from the fifth, all from inside 12 feet, to jump to
11-under.
"I just tried to stay in the moment. I knew I was playing good," Kemp
admitted. "My putter was amazing. I don't know how many putts I had, but I
don't think it was many. I just tried to have fun, and tried not to think
about how many birdies I was making."
Wie was joined in seventh at eight-under-par 134 by Eunjung Yi (66), Kyeong
Bae (64), Lindsey Wright (68), Kris Tschetter (67) and Suzann Pettersen (69).
Ochoa shares 13th with Hee-Won Han (66), Soo-Yun Kang (66), Jane Park (66),
Allison Hanna-Williams (68), Jee Young Lee (69), Jin Joo Hong (67) and Kim
(71).
The cut line fell at two-under-par 140 with 83 players moving on to the
weekend. Among those who missed the cut were Stacy Lewis (141), Stacy
Prammanasudh (142) and In-Kyung Kim (142).
