Webb Leads British

Karrie Webb, a 20-year-old Australian who turned pro only 10 months ago, shot a 3-under-par 70 and took a one-stroke lead over compatriot Mardi Lunn and England’s Caroline Pierce after two rounds of the British Women’s Open at Woburn, England.

Webb had a total of 7-under 139. Pierce also had a 70, while Lunn carded a 67, putting them at 140. Clarkston’s Tracy Hanson shot a 72 for a two-day total 150.

At the senior Northville Long Island Classic at Jericho, N.Y., John Paul Cain shot a course-tying seven-under 65, including a 90-foot eagle putt on the first hole and birdies on Nos. 2 and 3 to take the first-round lead. He also sank an 80-footer for birdie on No. 11 and had eight one-putt greens.

Mark Wiebe had two eagles and four birdies at Castle Pines Golf Club to charge into the second-round lead in the International at Castle Rock, Colo. Wiebe had the day’s best round - 15 points based on the modified Stableford scoring system used in this tournament - for a 36-hole total of 23 points and a 4-point lead over Lee Janzen and rookie David Duval.
