Morgan Pressel one back at Owens Corning Classic

SYLVANIA, Ohio (AP) - 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 the 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 two victories in 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, seeking her first professional victory,

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).
