Diaz and Kemp shared Corning Classic lead

Laura Diaz tied Sarah Kemp for the second-round lead today in the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic.
Diaz holed a 12ft birdie putt at the last for a 67 (four under par) and 11-under-131, the same total as Kemp who had a brilliant second-round 63.
Kemp has 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).
