| Cut made in Toledo.
78 players will compete for a share of the $1.3 million purse this weekend at the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic Presented by Kroger. The cutline fell at even-par 142 on the 6,428-yard, par-71 Highland Meadows Golf Club. Six-time LPGA Tour winner Paula Creamer continued her hot streak on Friday and will enter the weekend with a six stroke advantage at 17-under-par (60-65=125). The 21-year-old followed up her career low and tournament record 11-under-par 60 on Thursday with a 6-under-par 65 on Friday that included seven birdies and her first bogey of the tournament on hole four. Creamer's raw score of 125 is one stroke shy of the LPGA record held by Annika Sorenstam, who fired 65-59=124 at the 2001 Standard Register PING, and Meg Mallon, who fired 64-60=124 at the 2003 Welch's/Fry's Championship.
Creamer holds a six-stroke lead over 2008 Wegmans LPGA champion Eun-Hee Ji (65-66=131). Ji, who became a Rolex First-Time Winner at Wegmans in June, was bogey-free on the day with five birdies. Creamer leads by ten strokes over the next closest competitors, 2002 Jamie Farr champion Rachel Hetherington (68-67=135) and H.J. Choi (67-68=135). |
