Ochoa, who last week won in her native Mexico, started nicely with two birdies in her first three holes, including a seven-footer at the third. She did not record another birdie on the front nine and made the turn at two-under-par 34.
At the par-three 13th, Ochoa hit a five-iron to six feet to set up another birdie. After a long delay on the 14th tee box, Ochoa found the fairway, knocked her second to four feet and rolled in her third consecutive birdie putt. She was six-under par, but that was short-lived as she bogeyed the par- five 15th.
Sorenstam, the two-time defending champion and a five-time winner of this event, bogeyed the second, but got the stroke back with a birdie at the par- five third.
Sorenstam ran home a long birdie putt at the 11th to get to three-under par. She converted a seven-foot par save at 12 and birdied two in a row from the 14th.
For the first time in five years, Sorenstam is not a shoe-in to win Player of the Year honors, although a sixth title in this event would go a long way to closing the gap between herself and Ochoa.
Las Vegas, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - D.A. Points fired an eight-under 64 on Friday at the TPC at Summerlin Course to cruise into the lead during the second round of the Frys.com Open. He stands at 14-under-par 129 and is two ahead of the field. The second round was suspended due to darkness after a rain delay during the round knocked the schedule back. The players will return at 10:16 a.m. (et) Saturday to complete the second round with the third round scheduled to begin 90 minutes later.
Todd Fischer and Tom Pernice, Jr. both shot 65s at Summerlin on Friday and are tied for second place with Aaron Baddeley. The young Australian, who earned his first PGA Tour victory earlier this year at The Heritage, was tied for the lead with Points until a disastrous double-bogey at 18. He carded a six-under 65 at The Canyons and joined Fischer and Pernice at minus-12.
Points flew out of the gate with a 26-foot birdie putt at the second and an eight-foot eagle putt at No. 3. He hit his approach stiff at the seventh and tapped in the short birdie putt.
Points' first and only mistake of the round came at the par-five 16th. He hammered a drive down the fairway, but was between clubs and hit a poor second that nearly fell into the water. Points was close enough to the pond he took off his shoes and socks, but did not hit his chip hard enough. Points chipped again, nearly holed it out, but missed a four-footer for par.
Points overcame the miscue at 16 with six-foot birdie putt at the par-three 17th and a two-footer for birdie at the last to grab first place.

Teams that should be in: Stanford
Oregon and USC get their tickets punched after taking care of business this weekend. Yes, the Trojans' computer numbers aren't great, but there's no way the third-place team in this league is getting nixed. Grudgingly, I added Arizona after consultation with our Bracketologist. I don't know that Arizona will lose its last three (including a Pac-10 quarterfinal game), and even if the Cats do, I still can't see how they'd be left out, given the overall profile. That said, it bears watching, as three more L's would leave them at 18-12 (9-9) and on a 6-11 skid entering the Dance. It would be nice to see the Wildcats get at least one W in the Bay Area next week, as Cincinnati (albeit without Armein Kirkland and with a worse profile) was axed after a similar slide last season. I just couldn't rationalize having some of the other teams as locks and not having Arizona in that category -- there just aren't enough good teams behind the Cats to threaten their spot, it seems. Stanford has its fate in its own hands with the Arizona schools coming to the Farm to close out the regular season next weekend.
Should be in:
Stanford [17-10 (9-7), RPI: 40, SOS: 21] No shame in not getting a win in L.A., but that makes the home game against Arizona State a must-win ahead of what could be an intriguing meeting with Arizona should the Cats lose at Cal. Getting to 11 Pac-10 wins would make Selection Sunday much more comfortable, but 10's probably more than enough this season. The Cardinal have nonconference wins over Texas Tech and at Virginia to lean on, although they also lost badly to Air Force and Santa Clara at home.

Work left to do: Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Mississippi State It looks more and more possible that no one from the SEC West will make the NCAAs. How weird is that? Tennessee and Vandy move into the locks category after more good work this weekend. Kentucky stays there, although it would be smart for the Cats to handle Georgia at home Wednesday ahead of a trip to the Swamp. Could a disaster scenario (two more L's and a first-round SEC tourney exit) somehow dislodge the Cats despite their incredible computer numbers? Still unlikely, but not worth chancing it.
Work left to do: Alabama [19-9 (6-8), RPI: 43, SOS: 47] The tough L at Tennessee was understandable, and even created some hope. Unfortunately, that hope was dashed by a home loss to Auburn, which leaves the Tide in some real trouble. There's still no signature win on the profile (no, Kentucky doesn't count), and the computer profile is weakening rapidly. The Tide conceivably could beat Ole Miss and win at Miss. State to get to 8-8 and clinch at least a share of the West crown, but that's probably not enough right now. The Tide will need to do some work in the SEC tourney. Georgia [16-10 (8-6), RPI: 52, SOS: 23] This is the team with the best chance to make it from this section right now. The Bulldogs rebounded from a terrible performance at Ole Miss to beat down Miss. State. Now they are at Kentucky (king of the RPI 51-100 win) and home to Tennessee. That would be worth a lot of computer points to get both (which is doable), as both teams are in the top 11 in RPI. Finishing at least 9-7 is an absolute must, and I would feel much better about the Dawgs' chances if they got both to get to 10 SEC wins. They also beat Gonzaga, but lost to ACC bubblers Georgia Tech and Clemson. Mississippi [18-10 (7-7), RPI: 63, SOS: 79] Like everyone else in this division, Ole Miss gacked up a chance to stake a claim, losing by double figures at South Carolina. Even 9-7 likely is not nearly enough with a nonconference profile devoid of anything notable. Mississippi State [16-11 (7-7), RPI: 66, SOS: 37] With a chance to get in the mix, these Bulldogs were leashed by their Georgia counterparts. Could they get to 9-7? I guess -- although winning at Arkansas, then beating Alabama is no lock -- but would that mean all that much for a team with this overall profile? Probably not. There's nothing of note (on the good side) in the nonconference profile. |
