Webb, Jang Tied for Lead

Karrie Webb moved into contention for her fourth LPGA Tour victory of the year, shooting a two-under-par 70 in windy conditions Friday for a share of the second-round lead with Jeong Jang in the Longs Drugs Challenge at Danville, Calif.

“I started off slowly this morning and was actually quite happy to see that my concentration really kicked into another gear when the wind started picking up,” Webb said.

“That’s when I started to swing a little better and hit quality shots.”

Jang followed her course-record 64 on Thursday with a 73 to match Webb at seven-under 137 on the Blackhawk Country Club’s hilly, twisting Lakeside course.

Jang hit her first tee shot of the day into a bunker en route to a bogey on the par-three 10th. She got back to eight under after a birdie on No. 13 but three-putted the par-five 15th for a bogey.

Lorie Kane (71), Stacy Prammanasudh (68) and Maria Hjorth (68) were a stroke back at six under, and Morgan Pressel (68), Cristie Kerr (70) and Jill McGill (71) were five under.
