08/27/2010 - Winnipeg, MB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Michelle Wie posted a three-under 69 Friday to maintain her three-stroke lead after two rounds of the Canadian Women's Open.
Wie completed 36 holes at 10-under-par 134. She is looking to pick up her second LPGA Tour title to go with her victory at the 2009 Lorena Ochoa Invitational.
Jiyai Shin carded a five-under 67 to move into second place at minus-seven.
Suzann Pettersen, the defending champion, shot three-under 69 for the second straight day. She is tied for third with Morgan Pressel, who fired a six- under 66 at St. Charles Country Club.
Na Yeon Choi and Jee Young Lee both carded 67s on Friday and share fifth place at minus-five.
Wie started on the back nine and promptly dropped a shot on the par-three 11th, a hole which she aced a day earlier.
"I think they were very disappointed on 11 today when I made a bogey," joked Wie about the fans.
She bounced back with her second birdie in two days on the par-five 13th and moved to minus-eight with a birdie at 15. Wie then ran off seven consecutive pars around the turn.
Like she did Thursday, Wie posted birdies on five and six to climb to 10- under. She parred her final three holes to finish three clear.
"I felt good out there today, a couple of bad putts," Wie stated. "I had a lot of putts coming back. I just need to get my speed a little bit more down. But I'm just going out there and grinding and just trying my hardest every day."
This is the fourth time Wie has owned the 36-hole lead on the LPGA Tour. However, she has not been able to hold any of those leads, but has finished in the top three the previous three times she was in this position.
"It is frustrating when you don't win, but there's nothing you can do about it," Wie stated. "All you can do is look forward, just try and do your best every step of the way. That's what I'm trying to do, just trying to go out there and try my hardest."
Shin, who played alongside Wie the first two rounds, posted two birdies and two bogeys in a four-hole span from the 11th. She posted five more birdies on the front nine, including three in a row from the fourth, to move into second.
"Fortunately we played in the morning because the last couple holes was very windy," stated Shin, currently No. 4 in the world. "The last couple [of holes] played a little bit harder."
NOTES: Pettersen, the world No. 3, won this title last year at Priddis Greens Golf & Country Club...World No. 1 Ai Miyazato carded a two-under 70 Friday to climb into a share of 17th at even-par 144...The cut line fell at four-over- par 148 with 73 players moving on to the weekend...World No.5 Yani Tseng, Alexis Thompson, Anna Nordqvist, Helen Alfredsson and two-time champion Brandie Burton were among those that missed the cut.

In part two of MySportsbook.com’s draft preview, we’ll take a look at a division that was extremely disappointing last season: the NFC South. Many “experts” predicted the Panthers to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, of course they could not even make the playoffs in an extremely weak NFC. The Saints definitely made up for the disappointing seasons of their NFC South brethren by exploding out of no where en route to the NFC Championship game. For the avid NFL gambler, it is imperative to pay attention to the NFL draft. Although free agency gets a ton of publicity, the successful franchises build their teams around the draft.
1. New Orleans Saints
Who would have thought this time last year that the Saints would be the favorites to win the NFC South for the 2007 campaign? New Orleans is loaded with firepower on the offensive side of the ball but with the exodus of Joe Horn they will most likely look to draft a WR on Day 1. Despite having the NFL’s 3rd ranked pass defense last season, the Saints will most likely upgrade their CB’s with one of their first two picks. Other possibilities for the Saints will be TE and DT. Because of where they will be selecting (27th), the Saints could go the “best available player” route which could net a LB.
Key additions: Eric Johnson TE, Troy Evans LB, David Patten WR
Key loses: Joe Horn WR,
Team needs: CB, WR, TE, LB, DT
Possible draftees: Aaron Ross CB Texas, Darrelle Revis CB Pitt, Ted Ginn Jr. WR OSU, Paul Posluszny LB PSU, Chris Houston CB Arkansas, Greg Olsen TE Miami
2. Carolina Panthers
Carolina was one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL last season. With the signing of David Carr, expect the very first quarterback controversy to come out of Carolina if Jake Delhomme doesn’t rebound quickly from an average 2007 season. With veteran safety Mike Minter getting up there in age, they will look to draft a safety on Day 1 but probably not in the first round. LB is another need with the loss of Chris Draft to go along with Dan Morgan’s concussion problems. If TE Greg Olsen is still on the board, he might be too good to pass up despite their needs on the defensive side of the ball.
Key additions: David Carr QB
Key loses: Chris Draft LB
Team needs: LB, TE, S, OT
Possible draftees: Greg Olsen TE Miami, Patrick Willis LB Ole Miss, Paul Posluszny LB PSU, Levi Brown OT PSU
3. Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons were another NFC South team to have a disappointing 2007 season. The Falcons have been plenty busy during the off season with plenty of players coming and going including a new head coach. The Falcons were able to improve their draft position with the trade of coveted backup QB Matt Schaub. High on the list of Day 1 needs will be a defensive end to replace Patrick Kerney and a hard hitting safety since Lawyer Milloy is nearing the end of his career. With an additional 2nd round pick, the Falcons could attempt to trade up to acquire local product WR Calvin Johnson.
Key additions: Joey Harrington QB, Toniu Fonoti OG, Joe Horn WR
Key loses: Justin Griffen RB, Patrick Kerney DE, Matt Lehr OG, Ashley Lelie WR, Matt Schaub QB
Team needs: DE, S, OT, WR, DT
Possible draftees: LaRon Landry S LSU, Amobi Okoye DT Louisville, Levi Brown OT PSU, Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas, Alan Branch DT Michigan
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Age really caught up to the Bucs last season. The Bucs still have plenty of household names on defense in Ronde Barber, Simeon Rice and Derrick Brooks but the one thing those three have in common is unfortunately age. It is imperative for the Bucs to get much younger, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Despite having bigger needs on the defensive side of the ball, WR Calvin Johnson is the most likely pick if he is still available when the Bucs pick at the four spot. This would suit Bucs’ faithful just fine as Johnson is widely considered the top talent in the draft and it is a position of need for the Bucs.
Key additions: Jeff Garcia QB, Kevin Carter DE, Torrie Cox CB, Cato June LB
Key loses: Dewayne White DE, Sean Mahan OG
Team needs: WR, LB, DE, CB (Youth on defense!)
Possible draftees: Calvin Johnson WR Georgia Tech, Gains Adams DE Clemson, Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas
