Jennifer fires 74, trails by 6

RANCHO MIRAGE, California –Jennifer Rosales fired two birdies and four bogeys for a second-round two over par 74 and dropped six shots behind Lexi Thompson and Seri Pak in the $2 million Kraft Nabisco Championships, first major championship of the year.

Rosales had a two-day card of 69-74 for 143, her birdies coming in the opening hole and in the 13th, with bogeys marring her game in the second, 10th, 11th and 15th.

The 19-year-old Thompson, already a three-time winner on the LPGA Tour, shot a bogey-free 8-under 64 at Mission Hills for a share of the second-round lead with South Korea’s Se Ri Pak.

“This is my favorite tournament of the year,” Thompson said. “It’s so beautiful, like really nice weather, and the fans are amazing.”

Thompson had only 25 putts after taking 35 in a first-round 73.

Pak birdied the final hole for a 70 to match Thompson at 7-under 137 in the first major championship of the year. (With AP)
