Ochoa, Creamer in joint lead

California: Mexico's Lorena Ochoa shrugged off a double bogey to post a second-round 71 here on Friday and seize a share of the lead with Paula Creamer in the Kraft Nabisco golf championship.

Ochoa, the 2006 LPGA Player of the Year could supplant Annika Sorenstam as world No. 1 by capturing her first major title here this week.

Her round included five birdies along with two bogeys and the double bogey at 15 gave her a two-round total of 140.

Creamer fired a 67 to join Ochoa atop the leaderboard.

The 20-year-old American had five birdies in her bogey-free round.

The pair had a one-shot lead over first-round leader Shi Hyun Ahn of South Korea (73) and Norway's Suzann Petersen (69).

Swedish superstar Sorenstam continued to struggle, carding a 76 for a seven-over total of 151, making the cut with just two strokes to spare.

``I'm very disappointed and can not explain why it has not worked out this week,'' Sorenstam said.

``I'm like sparkling water without the fizz. I gave 100 per cent, but what can you do? I just have to hope that it is better over the weekend.''
