GOLF ROUNDUP Friday's other events

Takefuji Classic
LAS VEGAS -- Lorena Ochoa shot a 4-under 68 in windy conditions to take a two-stroke lead over Brittany Lincicome. After an opening 63 in ideal conditions the previous day, Ochoa didn't tee off until noon and had to contend with afternoon gusts that whipped the flags on the greens around. She was at 13-under 131 through two days of the 54-hole tournament. Lincicome completed most of her round of 65 before the wind kicked up. So did Paula Creamer and Seon Hwa Lee, both three strokes back at 10 under. Creamer shot a 64, and Lee had a 67. Shi Hyun Ahn (70) was four shots off Ochoa's pace. The sky was overcast and, although only a few drops of rain fell during the day, play was halted for 38 minutes in the afternoon because of lightning. Ochoa was on the back nine, 3 under for the day and 12 under for the tournament, when play was interrupted. When played resumed, she went par, birdie, par to complete the round. She holed a 12-footer for birdie on No. 17. Ochoa, who joined the LPGA Tour in 2003 and won three times in the last two seasons, has come close in three of the five events she's played this year.
China Open
BEIJING -- David Lynn shot a 5-under 67 in hot conditions to take a one-stroke lead over three players after the second round. Lynn had a 9-under 135 total on the Beijing Honghua International course. Zimbabwe's Marc Cayeux (65), Thailand's Prayad Marksaeng (67) and Portugal's Jose Filipe Lima (69) were tied for second.
