Canadian Women’s Open

OTTAWA — Defending champion Lorena Ochoa shot a 4-under 68 to take a two-stroke lead during the suspended second round, while Michelle Wie had a 70 to put herself in position to make the cut. Ochoa, the winner last year at Royal Mayfair in Edmonton, Alberta, had a 10-under 134 total on the tree-lined Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club course. Katherine Hull matched the course record with a 65 to join Taiwan’s Yani Tseng, the McDonald’s LPGA Championship winner, at 8 under. Tseng was 6 under through 10 holes when play was suspended because of hail and rain. None of the afternoon starters finished the round. Wie, using the last of her six 2008 LPGA Tour sponsor exemptions, followed her opening 75 with the 70 to finish at 1 over. The 18-year-old Stanford student, down to No. 309 in the world, needs to win or finish second to avoid a trip to Q-school.

JELD-WEN Tradition

SUNRIVER, Ore. — Two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer shot a 6-under 66 in 100-degree heat for a share of the second-round lead with Tim Simpson, the fourth of five majors on the Champions Tour. Langer and Simpson had 10-under 134 totals at the Crosswater Club. Simpson shot a second straight 67 despite hip and back problems that he said could jeopardize the rest of the tournament for him. Fred Funk (66), Jay Haas (68) and Mike Goodes (68) were a stroke back, and Tom Watson (64) followed at 8 under. Defending champion Eduardo Romero, the U.S. Senior Open winner, was 5 under after a 65.
