GUADALAJARA (AFP) — Michelle Wie, seeking her first LPGA tour title, seized a share of the lead in the $1.1 million Lorena Ochoa Invitational Saturday with a two-under par 70.

Wie shared the lead on 10-under 206 with fellow-American Cristie Kerr, who carded a 67.

“I'm really excited for tomorrow,” Wie said. “Hopefully, I can go out and win.”

“I think I'm just going to play the same way I've always played and go out there and try my hardest and try not to make any expectations of myself,” added Wie, who opened her round with back-to-back birdies. ''Just go out there like it's another day and try to play as hard as I can and try not to make any bogeys.''

Overnight leader Jiyai Shin was a stroke back after a 74. She was joined on 207 by American Paula Creamer, who shot a 71, and first-round leader Song-Hee Kim of South Korea, who posted a 70.

Taiwan's Yani Tseng posted a 69 for 209.

Shin had a tough day, with three bogeys on the back nine at Guadalajara Country Club. She has already secured Rookie of the Year honors and is trying to become the first player since Nancy Lopez in 1978 to earn both rookie and player of the year honors.

“Every player in four rounds - one will be really hard and today was my bad day,” said Shin, who has three victories on tour this year. ''Tomorrow I think I should make a comeback.''
