Mirabel, Que. (Golf Canada) – Ai Miyazato of Japan and American Angela Stanford sit tied atop the leader board at 11-under-par 133 through 36 holes at the 2011 CN Canadian Women’s Open at Hillsdale Golf and Country Club in Mirabel, Que.
After posting an opening-round score of 7-under-par 65, Miyazato, a seven-time winner on the LPGA Tour, carded a round of 4-under-par 68 on Friday, converting five birdies and only a single bogey heading into weekend play. “You know, I had a really good day today,” said Miyazato, who captured her second-career Evian Masters title earlier this season. “My confidence is back, and I’m really comfortable with my game right now. So I’m playing very good. I’m really satisfied with my game today.”
Stanford, a four-time LPGA Tour event winner, posted a score of 6-under-par 66 in round two, converting seven birdies on the afternoon, five of which came on the back-nine. “I guess I just had some better chances on the back,” said Stanford, who was recently named to her fourth U.S. Solheim Cup Team. “A couple par-5s that you have good chances, but I was just trying to hit good shots and give myself opportunities and the putter’s rolling so that’s good.”
Defending CN Canadian Women’s Open champion Michelle Wie sits T4 alongside seven other players at 8-under-par 136, three shots off the lead. A total of 78 players made the cut, which was set at 1-under-par 143, matching the lowest 36-hole cut score set at the 1998 du Maurier Classic at Essex Golf and Country Club in Windsor, Ont.
Six Canadians advanced to weekend action, including current low Canadian Samantha Richdale of Kelowna, B.C.(-5), Lisa Meldrum of Montreal (-4); Maude-Aimée LeBlanc of Sherbrooke, Que.(-3); Lorie Kane of Charlottetown, P.E.I.(-2); and Jessica Shepley of Oakville, Ont. (-1), the two-time reigning Jocelyne Bourassa Player of the Year Award winner on the CN Canadian Women’s Tour. Also making the cut was 15-year old Team Canada Development Squad member Jisoo Keel of Coquitlam, B.C. (-1).
LPGA veteran Sherri Steinhauer, an 8-time LPGA Tour winner, officially retired from competitive play following Friday’s round. Canada is a special place for Steinhauer, who chose this week’s CN Canadian Women’s Open as her final event because her first LPGA victory came on Canadian soil at the 1992 former du Maurier Classic in Winnipeg.
