SYLVANIA, Ohio (UPI) -- Laura Diaz, who has made the cut in only one
of her last seven events, grabbed a share of the lead Thursday after
one round of the Jamie Farr Classic.
Diaz was tied with Morgan Pressel and Song-Hee Kim at 7-under 64
following one trip around the Highland Meadows Golf Club course.
Some of the LPGA Tour's leading players, including Michelle Wie, were
in position to challenge for the title. Wie, who is looking for her
first tour victory and needs a win to earn a spot in the field at next
week's U.S. Women's Open, shared fourth place at 65 with Suzann
Pettersen.
Leading the group at 66 was Jiyai Shin, who won last week at the
Wegmans LPGA and took over the lead in this year's money race. Shin,
an overwhelming favorite to be named rookie of the year this season,
became the 174th player in LPGA history to earn $1 million and it took
her only 12 tournaments to do it.
Christie Kerr, Inbee Park, Lindsey Wright, Jee Young Lee and Minea
Blomqvist also were at 66. The large group at 67 included world No. 1
Lorena Ochoa, Helen Alfredsson, Anna Nordqvist and Angela Stanford.
Nordqvist, also a rookie, recently made her first tour triumph a major
title at the LPGA Championship.
