Rosales jumps into lead at U.S. Women's Open

SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. -- Jennifer Rosales shot out of the gate with three straight birdies and closed with a 12-foot birdie that gave her a 4-under 67 and a one-shot lead over fellow Southern California alum Candie Kung and Kim Saiki on Friday at the U.S. Women's Open.

Kung chipped in twice for birdie in her round of 68.

Saiki, trying to become the first player in 24 years to win an LPGA Tour event the week before winning a U.S. Open, finished bogey-birdie-bogey for a 68.

Annika Sorenstam and Carin Koch (67) were at 139, while Rachel Teske (69) and Moira Dunn (67) were another shot back.

Michelle Wie, the 14-year-old from Hawaii, hit a spectator with her tee shot on No. 10 and had to play out of poison ivy after driving deep into the woods on No. 14. She finished with a 1-under 70, four shots back and tied with 17-year-old Paula Creamer, who birdied the final hole for a 69.

Brittany Lincicome, an 18-year-old Floridian who tied a Women's Open record with a 66 in the first round, was shaky with her irons and her putting. She bogeyed three straight holes to reach the turn and wound up 11 shots worse at 77.

PGA TourLEMONT, Ill. -- Tiger Woods wriggled his way out of danger, holing a 60-foot putt for the first of back-to-back birdies to help keep intact his streak of 126 straight cuts made.

Charles Howell III shot a 67 to share the lead with Matt Gogel (64) and Steve Lowery (68).

First-round leader Loren Roberts is three strokes back.

Woods finished with a 73 that put him at 1-over 143 for two rounds -- right on the projected cut line. But with the wind already starting to blow, Woods knew he was safe.

Sure enough, when play was completed 6 1/2 hours later, the line was 2 over and Woods had made his 126th consecutive cut, the longest streak in PGA Tour history.
