02/17/2007 - Oahu, HI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Paula Creamer and Sherri Steinhauer both shot two- under 70 Friday to remain tied for the lead after two rounds of the SBS Open.
Creamer and Steinhauer, part of a three-way tie for the lead after the first round, were joined by Morgan Pressel at seven-under-par 137. Pressel tied for the round of the day with a four-under 68.
Hee-Won Han had a three-under 69 and was alone in fourth place at six-under 138. Pat Hurst (68), Julieta Granada (71) and Janice Moodie (70) were tied for fifth at five-under 139.
One shot further back were the No. 2 and 3 players in the world: Lorena Ochoa and Karrie Webb. Ochoa shot a 69 and Webb had a 70 at Turtle Bay Resort. They were joined in eighth place by Janice Moodie (70).
In all, there are 16 players within five shots of the lead heading into Saturday's final round.
Creamer got to seven-under par with an 10-foot birdie putt at No. 9, her second birdie on the front nine. She ran into trouble with back-to-back bogeys from the 11th, but got both shots back with strong wedge shots.
At the 14th, she knocked a 54-degree wedge within four feet to set up birdie, and at the 18th she hit a 58-degree wedge to six feet for a closing birdie.
"It is difficult with all of the wind," Creamer said. "You have to land balls short."
After going winless last season, the eighth-ranked Creamer is looking for her first title since breaking through for a pair of victories in 2005, when she was the LPGA Tour Rookie of the Year.
"I think that I've kind of overcome that whole let's try to win and win and win. I just need to let it come to me," said Creamer.
"Last year was a lot of...trying to force things to do it. I just need to go out and play like I've been playing. That is what I've realized, so we'll see what goes on tomorrow."
Steinhauer, the reigning Women's British Open champion, mixed six birdies with four bogeys in her second round. She was at eight-under after posting back- to-back birdies at the 13th and 14th, but dropped back with a bogey on the 15th.
The highlight of her round was a 15-foot birdie putt at No. 9, which came two holes after she three-putted from 60 feet for bogey at No. 7.
"I would have liked to eliminate the bogeys, but I played a lot of solid holes," said Steinhauer.
Pressel, the 2005 U.S. Women's Amateur champion, is still looking for her first LPGA Tour win. She came within inches of holding the lead alone when a chip for birdie at the 18th ended at the edge of the cup.
"I never put myself into too much trouble today, which was nice," said Pressel, who had five birdies with just one bogey.
Because the tournament runs Thursday-Saturday, the 36-hole cut came at the end of Friday's round and fell at four-over 148. World No. 4 Cristie Kerr (149) and defending champion Joo Mi Kim (151) were among the players missing the weekend.

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
