Stacy Lewis
Former University of Arkansas NCAA Champion Stacy Lewis used a 4 birdie 1 bogey 3-under 69 to push her overall score to 9-under at the halfway point of the 2011 LPGA Kraft Nabisco Championship. But the former LPGA Q-school medalist cannot be complacent as a host of stars are hot on her heels including the defending champion Yani Tseng, and two other former champions, Morgan Pressel and Brittany Lincicome. With three of the last four champions in pursuit, Lewis will need to continue to go low. To do so, she must improve on the 5 of 14 fairways hit she produced in round 2. That might have been fine for one round, but it is not a recipe for Major success.

Yani Tseng
Meanwhile, expect Yani Tseng to make a weekend push to win back to back titles at Mission Hills. Yani was at times brilliant and erratic on Friday, birdying 3 of the first 4 holes and smoking the ball off the tee, but also dropping in 3 bogeys with her 7 birdies. Let’s take a look at Yani’s round:

Michelle Wie
There were some tense moments when Michelle Wie hit a little girl in the head with her opening tee shot. The girl was ultimately ok, but it is a vivid reminder of the dangers inherent in being on a golf course during play. Wie would go on to tie In-Kyung Kim for low round of the day with a 5-under 67. Wie sits at 3-under overall midway through.
