• Baldry: ‘No one did it better’
ASSOCIATED PRESSKatherine Hull shot 71 Friday to get to 5-under 139 at the ADT Championship, making her the leader after two rounds, a fact that will be completely irrelevant Saturday morning. The scorecards of the surviving 16 all get erased for the third round, and will again when the final eight play Sunday.
Angela Stanford finished 4 under, one shot ahead of Christina Kim, In-Kyung Kim and Paula Creamer, who was up most of the night before with the flu but shot her second consecutive 71.
“This is one of the hardest rounds I’ve ever had to play,” said Creamer, who will win the season money title if she wins the tournament.
Others who advanced included Jeong Jang, Angela Park, Seon Hwa Lee, Ji-Yai Shin, Helen Alfredsson, Eun-Hee Ji (who was 7 over on her final three holes and got through anyway), Jee Young Lee, Suzann Pettersen, Sun Young Yoo, Karen Stupples and Karrie Webb.
Only one of this year’s four major champions reached the weekend: Shin won the British Open.
Plenty of star power drove off Friday afternoon, including regular Trump International players Cristie Kerr and Morgan Pressel, the world No. 1 in Ochoa and LPGA champion Yani Tseng.
“Certainly the two biggest names are out and I’m sure ADT is not happy about that,” Pressel said.
Another major winner left Thursday, when U.S. Open champion Inbee Park withdrew after 14 holes.
“It was just a tough week,” Ochoa said. “Hard to concentrate.”
