Diaz hops to it
SYLVANIA, Ohio — With a surprised hop, Laura Diaz tied Sarah Kemp for the second-round lead Friday in the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic.
Diaz looked discouraged with a putt halfway to the final hole but then hopped in celebration when the 12- foot birdie try went in, giving her a 4- under 67 and a share of the lead with Kemp (63) at 11-under 131. Kemp had never led in her year and a half as a pro, while Diaz is winless since 2002.
Morgan Pressel (68) was a shot back, and Natalie Gulbis (65), Seon Hwa Lee (63) and Jiyai Shin (67) followed at 9 under.
Michelle Wie three-putted the final hole for double bogey and a 69, leaving her three strokes behind along with Suzann Pettersen (69), Lindsey Wright (68), Kyeong Bae (64) and Eunjung Yi (66).
