Bohn two shots ahead: Wachovia
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 04 - 05 - 2008

American Jason Bohn rediscovered his putting touch to secure a two-stroke lead in the second round of the Wachovia Championship on Friday.
Bohn tamed testing winds at Quail Hollow to shoot a five-under-par 67. That score was matched by compatriot Anthony Kim, who was in second spot, as well as Jim Furyk, Dudley Hart and George McNeill three shots off the pace in third.
First-round leader David Toms slipped down the leaderboard after a 75 and Phil Mickelson had a poor finish, with double bogeys on 15 and 18, for a 74.
Bohn has one PGA Tour victory, the BC Open in 2005, but is best known for winning $1 million in 1992 at a hole-in-one competition in Alabama. He was a college player at the time, but the annual $50,000 installments allowed him to pursue his professional aspirations.
Adam Scott just made the cut, sinking a 14-footer at the last to advance to the final two rounds, 10 shots off the pace.
However, Masters champion Trevor Immelman made an early exit for the second week in a row.
Creamer captures lead
In Oklahoma, American Paula Creamer seized a narrow one-shot lead Friday with an even-par 71 in the second round of the LPGA SemGroup Championship.
Creamer's effort, which included three birdies and three bogeys, gave her a one-under total of 141 and left her the only player under par in the 1.8 million-dollar tournament.
South Korean Ji Young Oh carded a one-over 72 for second place on even par 142. Leta Lindley (72) and Brittany Lang (71) were a further shot back.
World No.1 Lorena Ochoa, seeking to match an LPGA record with a fifth win in as many starts, was six adrift on 147 after a second-round 74.
The Mexican star's round included three bogeys with - astonishingly - no birdies, and left her tied for 21st.
While Ochoa was hoping the windy weather would calm down for the weekend, Creamer was happy with the tough conditions.
Garrido four-shot ahead
In Spain, Ignacio Garrido broke the Real Club course record by two strokes on Friday to take a commanding four-shot lead at the halfway stage of the Spanish Open.
The 1997 Ryder Cup player rediscovered top form after a poor recent run to produce a faultless second round card of nine-under-par 63, two better than the record set by first round leader Martin Erlandsson of Sweden on Thursday.
Nine birdies took Garrido to 15-under 129, four strokes ahead of Erlandsson, who added a 68 to move to 11-under.
Garrido's 15-under return for the first two rounds was the third-best ever recorded in the European Tour.
Erlandsson knew he faced a stiff task when he went out in the afternoon to try to catch Garrido but did not make the best of starts by bogeying the first.
The Swede then came surging back with a birdie-birdie-eagle run from the third to give himself hopes of a maiden victory at the weekend.
Australian 48-year-old Peter Fowler, Paraguayan Marco Ruiz, Briton David Lynn and Spaniard Carlos Rodiles share third place, seven strokes behind Garrido.
Invited American John Daly cheered himself with a closing eagle but the two-times major champion missed the cut by two strokes on one-over after a second round 70.
