Golf: Paula Creamer Shoots 66

Golf: Paula Creamer Shoots 66 - U.S. Women's Open champion Paula Creamer shot a 6-under 66 on Friday to take a one-stroke lead over Norway's Suzann Pettersen in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational.

Creamer birdied two of the final three holes to reach 10 under on the Guadalajara Country Club course.

"I'm pleased with the way I'm hitting the ball, and I'm putting very well," Creamer said. "Consistently, I'm rolling the putts the way that I want to, and that's all I can ask for is to give myself as many opportunities as I can."

Creamer finished second last year, two strokes behind Michelle Wie.

"I really like coming here," Creamer said. "I enjoy the golf course. It sets up very well for my game. It's not the longest golf course that we play all year, but you have to hit a lot of fairways and you have to be very precise with your irons and that kind of suits my game. But coming in second last year, I definitely wanted to come back and give myself a good chance to win."

Wie withdrew Thursday because of a back injury after an opening 78.

Ochoa followed her first-round 74 with a 71 on her home course, leaving her 26th at 1 over in her first LPGA Tour event since retiring in April.

"I'm not going to say that I don't have chances anymore," Ochoa said. "But I guess right now, it's out of my hands what the other players do. I'm going to try to get here tomorrow, probably going to play early again and shoot a low round."

First-round leader Cristie Kerr was tied for 14th at 4 under. After opening with a tournament-record 64, the third-ranked American shot a 76 in the second round. She had two back-nine double bogeys.

Pettersen had a 65, matching Meena Lee for the best round of the day in the 35-player field.
Pettersen played the back nine in 6-under 30, birdieing Nos. 10, 11, 13, 14, 15 and 18.
"I gave myself some really good chances and made some good putts," Pettersen said. "Finally I'm getting the ball in the hole. So obviously that's going to help the scorecard."

Best Indoor Exercise

Best Indoor Exercise - There are several indoor exercises you can do to keep in shape. But which are the best? They can be split in to two categories. The first is body weight exercises, meaning you use your own body weight to provide resistance. The second is using some sort of equipment. There are pros and cons to both. The biggest advantage to doing body weight exercises is they can be done anywhere. Whether you're on holiday, travelling for work, or if you just want a quick exercises to do. There are quite a few body weight exercises that can be done. If you wish to work out your abdominal muscles, sit ups or crunches are a good one.

Kinect Review

Kinect Review - First presented to the world as Project Natal at E3 2009, Microsoft's Kinect sensor peripheral has since been positioned by the software (and hardware) giant as the next phase of Xbox 360's evolution as a platform. A combination of hardware and software, it's been billed as a means for users to interact with their consoles and play games without using a physical controller, using natural gestures, voice commands and face recognition. I've had a final retail Kinect unit at home for a little over a week now, and have had ample time to put the shiny new gadget through its paces. Is it as magical as expected? Will it transform gaming? Or, more importantly, does it even work? Read on past the break for my in-depth review of this ambitious apparatus. Kinect is a single piece of hardware, yet it incorporates several distinct technologies. There's an infrared emitter that floods your play space with invisible light, paired with a CMOS sensor that then l...
