Dottie Ardina followed up her opening 70 with an eagle-spiked three-under 69 but the Filipina ace fell eight strokes behind new leader Katherine Kirk of Australia halfway through the Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic in Oneida, Wisconsin Friday . Ardina birdied two of the first six holes to move up from joint 59th then negated her missed-green bogey on No. 12 with an eagle on the next before closing out with a bogey and birdie on Nos. Regan de Guzman, the other Filipina in the fold, missed the cut with a 73 and a 144. Green turned in a solid 67 to wrest a one-stroke lead over Grace Na, Elizabeth Szokol and three others in the $200,000 Symetra Tour event.
