CANADIAN WOMEN'S OPEN Daniel cards 69, leads Moodie by one

Beth Daniel birdied the final hole to take command.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) -- Beth Daniel birdied her final hole Friday to cap a 3-under 69 and took a one-shot lead over Janice Moodie after two rounds of the Canadian Women's Open.
"I was starting to get a little frustrated with myself because I thought I should have made more birdies," said Daniel, who was at 6-under 138. "But I think it's that sort of golf course that you feel you should be burning it up, but nobody is."
That was especially true Friday. When the winds picked up, the greens firmed up, and the scores went up at the 6,389-yard Point Grey Golf and Country Club. Only 18 players were under par in the second round on the tight, tree-lined layout.
Got an eagle
Despite the tough conditions, Daniel hit a cut 3-wood to 8 feet for an eagle on No. 3 and then had a tap-in birdie on the next hole.
"That combination was pretty much my whole round," said Daniel, who had a bogey on No. 6, but made up for it with a 6-foot birdie on the par-5 18th. "I actually hit the ball better yesterday, but that's how golf is. I hit enough shots out there to make an eagle and two birdies and then I stayed pretty steady from then on."
Moodie was atop the leader-board most of the day before a bogey on her final hole dropped her one shot behind Daniel. Moodie's 68 was still the low round Friday.
"I played very, very solid. Nothing terribly long or anything, but some nice putts," said Moodie, who missed a short par putt on the tough par-4 9th to fall out of the lead. "My only bad hole was the 9th, but I think that was everybody's bad hole."
Juli Inkster, Kim Saiki and first-round leader Heather Bowie were at 140. Laura Davies led a group of four at 3-under, but only 18 players were below par after two rounds.
"The wind is swirling out there," said Inkster, who followed an opening 68 with an even-par 72. "I think it's playing pretty tough."
Bowie was cruising with the lead at 7 under until an errant drive and poor approach shot turned into a triple-bogey 7 on the 401-yard 14th. She added another bogey before a birdie on No. 18 put her back at 4 under.
"It was just the one hole and other than that I would have been under par on the day," said Bowie, who opened with a 66.
