WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The LPGA Tour season comes to an end this week, and Annika Sorenstam is still going strong.
Despite another three-putt bogey, Sorenstam continued her otherwise flawless play Friday with a 2-under 70 that gave her a one-stroke lead in the ADT Championship, putting her in good position to capture her 11th title of the year.
Sorenstam was at 7-under 137 and was surprised to be one stroke ahead of Rachel Teske (66), Lorie Kane (69) and Meg Mallon (71).
"I felt like I left so many putts out there that I was going to be behind," she said. "I guess the others are leaving some there as well. I'm so-so pleased. I hit the ball really well again, but it's the same scenario. I didn't make as many putts as I'd like."
Sorenstam will be paired today with Teske, whose 66 is the best round of the tournament. The Australian's first victory this year came in Tucson, Ariz., where she overcame a five-stroke deficit against Sorenstam and beat her in a playoff.
"Obviously, Annika has had an awesome year, and it's fantastic to watch," Teske said. "But if I'm playing well, too, I have a good chance to hit the shots. If I'm playing well, I'm not intimidated by anybody."
Defending champion Karrie Webb also could be a factor during the weekend. Webb hit the ball extremely well Friday and was at 5-under 139 after a 70 -- despite her one bad swing, a driver into the woods on No. 12, that led to a double bogey.
Also at 139 was Rosie Jones, while Se Ri Pak had a 73 was at 4-under 140.
Dunlop Phoenix Open
MIYAZAKI, Japan -- Tiger Woods, playing in his first tournament since the Tour Championship earlier this month, had everything in place in the second round of the $1.65 million Dunlop Phoenix Open on Friday. Everything, that is, except his short game.
Putting troubles cost Woods several birdie opportunities and he had to settle for a 3-under-par 68 that followed his par-71 in the first round and left him eight strokes behind leader Kaname Yokoo of Japan.
"I hit some good putts but misread a couple and that added up to a lot of missed putts," Woods said. "If I hit the ball like I did today, and make the putts, I'll be in good shape over the weekend."
Franklin Templeton Shootout
NAPLES, Fla. -- John Huston and Jeff Maggert fired an 8-under-par 64 under the alternate shot format to take the first-round lead Friday in the Franklin Templeton Shootout.
They were a shot ahead of Rocco Mediate and Lee Janzen, and Mark O'Meara and John Cook at Tiburon Golf Club. The 12 two-man teams will play better ball today in the unofficial PGA Tour event. The players play a scramble in Sunday's final round.
The winners split $500,000 from a purse of $2.25 million. Steve Elkington and Peter Jacobsen are tied for fourth with Mark Calcavecchia and Andrew Magee, and Matt Kuchar and David Gossett.
