New Rochelle, NY (My Sportsbook) - Paula Creamer posted a three-under 68 on Friday to grab a piece of the lead through two rounds of the Sybase Classic. Creamer finished 36 holes at five-under-par 137 along with Christina Kim, Gloria Park and Joo Mi Kim.

Miriam Nagl carded a 72 to join Siew-Ai Lim, Hee-Won Han and Michele Redman at three-under-par 139. Heather Bowie followed at two-under-par 140.

Creamer started on the back nine at under cold and dreary conditions at Wykagyl Country Club and hit a nine-iron to 15 feet for a birdie at the par- four 12th. Creamer then landed her tee shot inside three feet for a birdie at the par-three 13th, but gave that shot back with a bogey at the 14th.

The 18-year-old countered with a birdie at the very next hole and ran home a 12-foot putt for another birdie at the par-three 16th. Creamer then chipped her third shot to two feet for a birdie at the par-five 18th to take the outright lead around the turn at six-under.

Creamer parred her next three holes, but made a mess of the par-three fourth. She missed the green and chipped her second shot over the putting surface. Creamer then three-putted for a double-bogey to fall back to four-under. Creamer recovered with a birdie at the ninth for her share of first.

"I'm hitting the ball well," said Creamer. "For me, I think the most important thing is to know how to win and how to compete under pressure."

Christina Kim, who held the lead after round one, also started on the back nine and tallied a lone bogey at the 14th. She made a move on the front side with back-to-back birdies starting at the second, but she dropped those shots with a double-bogey at the fourth.

The 21-year-old found trouble again with a bogey at the eighth, but rolled in an 18-foot birdie putt at the ninth for a round of 72.

Park picked up a birdie at the 11th, her second, but stumbled to a bogey at the 13th. She answered with two straight birdies from the 15th, but struggled again with a bogey at the par-four 17th after her second shot found a bunker.

She hit an eight-iron to five feet for a birdie at the par-three second, but bogeyed the following hole. Park countered with a birdie at the fifth, but bogeyed the sixth. She dropped another shot at the eighth, but responded with a birdie at the ninth.

"I'm going to try to hit some more fairways tomorrow to see what I can do," said Park, who managed a 70 on Friday.

Joo Mi Kim played the back side first and collected four birdies over her first nine holes. She continued her fine play with back-to-back birdies from the first. Kim bogeyed the fifth, but picked up a birdie at the eighth en route to a 65.
