Paula Creamer and Lorena Ochoa played together for the first 36 holes at the SemGroup Championship, battling a vicious wind that came from two directions and getting two very different results. Creamer has made enough birdies that another sloppy finish Friday -- two bogeys on the final three holes -- still left her satisfied.

She shot an even-par 71 and was the only one under par at Cedar Ridge, giving her a one-shot lead over Ji Young Oh (72). Ochoa was six shots behind at 5 over after a 3-over 74, the first time since the 2006 Women's British Open that she has had two rounds over par in the same tournament.
