Bartholomew and Diaz lead the ladies

Jean Bartholomew fired a bogey-free five-under-par 67 to tie for the lead with Laura Diaz after the second round of the Corning Classic in New York.

A Long Island native, Bartholomew collected three birdies and an eagle to finish on nine under par at 135 to share the second-round lead for only the second time in her seven-year Tour career.
