Defending champion Lorena Ochoa shot a 4-under 68 yesterday to take a two-stroke lead during the suspended second round of the Canadian Women's Open at Ottawa, while Michelle Wie had a 70 to put herself in position to make the cut.

Ochoa, the winner last year at Royal Mayfair in Edmonton, Alberta, had a 10-under 134 total at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club course.

Australia's Katherine Hull matched the course record with a 65 to join Taiwan's Yani Tseng, the McDonald's LPGA Championship winner, at 8 under. Tseng was 6 under through 10 holes when play was suspended because of hail and rain.

None of the afternoon starters were able to finish the round.

Wie, using the last of her six 2008 LPGA Tour sponsor exemptions, followed her opening 75 with the 70 to finish at 1 over.

"I felt a lot more confident with my putter," said Wie, a Punahou School alum and current Stanford freshman. "I had a lot of great up and downs today. There were a few holes where it could have gone either way and I just grinded it through. I'm proud of myself for shooting under par today and it sets me up for Saturday and Sunday."

The 18-year-old needs to win or finish second to avoid a trip to Q-school — if she decides to try qualifying.
