07/03/2009 - 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).

Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds
Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
Arizona Cardinals +6.5 (-110), Under 46.5 (-110), +220 (Money line)
