While not as impressive as in the first round, South Korea's Jeong Jang still kept her hold on first place on Friday in the Fields Open in Hawaii.

Jang carded a four-under-par 68 in the second round of the $1.3 million tournament to remain on top of the leaderboard on 132, 12 under.

One day after signing for nine birdies with just one bogey en route to an eight-under 64, the South Korean made seven birdies against three bogeys.

Despite the slight decline, Jang still holds a one-shot lead over compatriot Song-Hee Kim, who carded a bogey-free, eight-under 64.

Paula Creamer is two strokes back following a 68, while Lindsey Wright is fourth at 135 after a 66.

Kapolei, HI (Sports Network) - Paula Creamer birdied her final three holes Saturday, and four of the last five overall, to walk away with the title at the Fields Open in Hawaii.

Creamer closed with a six-under 66 to complete her fifth win at 16-under-par 200, which set a new scoring record.

Her total of 200 was two strokes better than the old mark of 202, which Meena Lee and Seon Hwa Lee set in 2006, then Stacy Prammanasudh tied last year. Creamer also won for the second time in Hawaii.

"It was a good day out there," stated Creamer, who collected $195,000 for the win. "A lot of good players were going low, that's what you can do on this golf course and that's what you had to do to win."

Jeong Jang, who led after each of the first two rounds, closed with a three- under 69 to take second at minus-15. She drops to 1-4 when holding the 36-hole lead, with her only win at the 2005 Women's British Open.

KAPOLEI, Hawaii -- After two encouraging rounds to start her year, Michelle Wie shot a 6-over 78 on Saturday in the final round of Fields Open to finish 20 strokes behind winner Paula Creamer.

“Obviously I’m a little disappointed with today’s round,” said Wie, who opened with rounds of 69 and 73.

At 4-over 220, she tied for last among the 74 players who made the cut.

“Felt like I was a little rusty out there,” Wie said. “I just got to keep on playing.”

The 18-year-old Wie, who started the round on No. 10 at 2 under, went double bogey-par-triple bogey to fall to 3 over heading into the turn. She rebounded a bit on the final nine, with two birdies and three bogeys, including one on the final hole.

She sighed and shook her head as she walked off the ninth green.

“I kind of hit a couple of shots off-line, found a couple of bad breaks, the putts didn’t fall today,” Wie said. “But I had a lot of positive shots I can bank off of for the next tournament. Obviously, there’s a lot of room for improvement. I felt like I did a pretty good job.”

Wie had troubles off the tee, going way left on several shots.
