LONDON, Ont. Jim Umbricht Jersey . -- So Yeon Ryu pulled away from the pack at the Canadian Pacific Womens Open with a second straight bogey-free round. Ryu shot a 6-under 66 Friday at London Hunt and Country Club to get to 15 under, the best two-round start in the tournaments history and five strokes ahead of fellow South Korean Na Yeon Choi, playing partner Anna Nordqvist and Danielle Kang. "A lot of birdies is still a good sign, but no bogeys is more (of) a great sign because it means I play really consistent and when I was in trouble I handled it pretty well," she said. "Thats my goal. I aim for the bogey-free round all four days." If Ryu keeps it up over the weekend, shell have a good chance at winning her first tournament since the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic in 2012. With eight top-10 finishes this year, including a tie for fifth at the U.S. Womens Open, she hasnt been far off. Even amid her victory drought, Ryu tries not to complain or worry. "Im happy to be just travelling all around the world," she said. "Im really happy to show my golf swing and my golf game to all golf fans. The thing is to not really think about the result thing. Im playing golf and Im happy." Ryu "absolutely" is happier when playing the kind of golf she has over the past couple of days. She returned to the same local restaurant, Izakaya Shogun Japanese Sushi & Grill, Thursday night that she had dinner at with South Korean teammates the previous day -- for takeout this time -- and said shed have to think about it again before her third round. Whatever Ryu is eating, the rest of the field will have what shes having. "So Yeon is probably making everything she looks at," said Cristie Kerr, the champion the last time this tournament was in London back in 2006, who shot a 4-under 68 Friday to get to 9 under. American Brittany Lincicome, who was a runner-up to Inbee Park at last weeks LPGA Championship, had the best round of the day with a 65 to move to 8 under. Lincicome said her confidence level was "really high." "I felt really confident when I stepped on the first hole," she said. "It was a very smooth day and it was nice to get some putts to fall." Joining Lincicome at 8 under were Lizette Salas, Lindsey Wright, Mi Hyang Lee and Xi Yu Lin. Four Canadians were among the 87 players who made the cut: Jennifer Kirby of Paris, Ont., at 5 under and amateurs Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont., and Jennifer Ha of Calgary at 3 under and Sue Kim of Langley, B.C., at 1 under. The other 11 in the field finished at even or over par to miss. Henderson had missed the cut in this tournament in her two previous appearances but is now 4 for 4 making the cut in LPGA Tour events this year. But she wasnt satisfied despite shooting a 71. "Honestly, today, I couldve easily been five-under," Henderson said. "I had so many opportunities for birdie inside 10 feet and just didnt capitalize on them." Nordqvist felt the same way playing with Ryu but struggling with her putter. "I was trying to keep up with her on the greens," the Swede said. "I played really well today, too, and I couldnt seem to make any putts. ... Its a bit frustrating, but she played really well and I try to feed off her." One of the last players to tee off Friday, Kang saw Ryus 15 under and didnt let it bother her. Instead, she watched the leaderboard with delight thinking about what she can do on this course. "That tells me that there are birdies out there," said Kang, who borrowed defending champion and friend Lydia Kos ball marker after forgetting her own. "You just got to go by the scoreboard, the scoreboard tells you everything you need to know." Like a lot of players, Choi wasnt focused on others performances before she teed off. The 2012 U.S. Womens Open champion also took a different approach Thursday night after shooting a 64, going shopping and to the movie theatre to see "Into the Storm." "I just tried to relax," Choi said. "Always when I think about too much golf, even off the golf course, it sometimes gives me a lot of stress." Choi stressed about her driver after shooting a 70 Friday to tie Nordqvist for second. Its her hope that fixing a left hook in her swing can help her stay in the hunt. Kang, a 21-year-old from San Francisco, is in contention and feeling confident going into the weekend. "Theres a lot of people contending, and theres a lot of birdies out there and everyones shooting low, so youve just got to keep making birdies," she said. Notes -- American Jessica Korda had a hole-in-one on the eight, drilling an 8 iron from 147 yards from the tee. She shot a 70 to get to 4 under through two rounds. ... Organizers waived the $10 parking fee for the weekend to encourage more fans to come out to the course. Cy Sneed Astros Jersey .

Lincecums last two outings have brought him awfully close to finding that form again. The rejuvenated right-hander followed his second career no-hitter with another vintage performance, pitching eight sharp innings to lead the San Francisco Giants past the St. Louis Cardinals 5-0 on Tuesday night. "We try to go out there and duplicate when things are feeling good," Lincecum said. "We tried to do that today. All my pitches were working when I threw them. They werent super nasty -- they were just located a little better than usual." Maybe more than a little. Lincecum (7-5) allowed four hits, struck out six and walked two. He worked out of a bases-loaded jam with no outs in the fourth and stayed out of trouble the rest of the way, helping San Francisco snap a four-game losing streak since his latest gem against San Diego. Lincecum left after throwing 113 pitches, including 73 for strikes -- the exact same line as his no-hitter against the Padres last week -- before Jean Machi pitched a drama-free ninth. "I think the two (starts), if you look at them, its hard to find a big difference," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "Its a guy that had command of all his pitches." Pablo Sandoval hit his 100th career homer to cap a three-run fourth for the Giants, and he got a bottle of bubbly in the clubhouse afterward. San Francisco also scored twice in the fifth to chase Marco Gonzales (0-1) in the left-handers second career start. Gonzales gave up five runs and seven hits in 4 1-3 innings. St. Louis has lost three straight and four of five in a tough stretch against the leagues hottest pitchers. The Cardinals faced a pitcher with a no-hitter this season for the third time in five games. After Josh Beckett and Clayton Kershaw led the Los Angeles Dodgers to victories over St. Louis, Allen Craig singled with one out in the second to put an early end to Lincecums bid for another no-hitter. Joe Smith Astros Jersey. Lincecum, who has shown signs of returning to his dominant form of late, showed the poise and polish of his younger days even when things started to go awry. Lincecum loaded the bases in the fourth before striking out Craig and Jon Jay and getting Daniel Descalso to ground out. Lincecum pounded his glove and received a standing ovation from the announced sellout crowd of 41,152. "It gets you fired up," right fielder Hunter Pence said. "When a guys making good pitches, you get him on the ropes youve got to make him bleed a little bit. That one slipped away," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. San Francisco supplied all the support Lincecum needed in the bottom of the inning. Buster Poseys double drove in a run before Sandovals wind-aided fly carried just over the wall in left to give San Francisco a 3-0 lead. "Its hard to hit one," said Sandoval, who wore his "lucky" boots for the first time in weeks trying to break San Franciscos skid. "Im excited to get this moment." Pence hit an RBI double and Hector Sanchez drove in another run in the fifth to put the Giants up 5-0. The performance from San Franciscos leading men -- Lincecum, Sandoval, Posey and Pence -- was a welcome turnaround for the teams fans. The Giants entered the game 1-6 on their homestand, including four straight losses to Cincinnati. It was the first time San Francisco had been swept in a four-game series at its waterfront ballpark, which opened in 2000.
