West Palm Beach, FL -- (Sports Network) - Katherine Hull posted a one-under 71 Friday to maintain a one-shot lead after two rounds of the ADT Championship.

Hull completed 36 holes at five-under-par 139.

However, the big story was Annika Sorenstam's Hall of Fame career coming to a close as she missed the cut by two strokes.

Sorenstam is stepping away from the game and this was her final LPGA Tour event. She managed a three-over 75 to end in a tie for 18th at five-over 149.

The Swede managed just one birdie to go with a double-bogey and two bogeys on Friday.

"I know it is (over), but in my mind I have very mixed emotions. This is the decision I made," said an emotional Sorenstam. "There are certain things I'm going to miss, there is no doubt about it.

"It's been an incredible year and amazing career. I never thought about this when I first picked up a club 20 or 30 years ago. It's a tough moment, but there are good things ahead."

Angela Stanford, who has posted five straight top-five finishes, including a pair of wins, fired the low round of the week with her five-under 67. That moved her into second place at four-under-par 140.

Christina Kim (71), Paula Creamer (71) and In-Kyung Kim (73) are tied for third place at minus-two at Trump International Golf Club.

With women's world No. 1 Lorena Ochoa missing the cut, Creamer could move past Ochoa and win the money title with a victory here this week. Ochoa posted a 74 to finish alongside Sorenstam at plus-five.

Hull led by one entering the round and opened with 14 straight pars to begin her round.

During that time, she fell behind Eun-Hee Ji, who birdied three straight holes to climb to six-under. Ji fell apart down the stretch, though, and that opened the door for Hull.

Hull birdied the par-five 15th to move to minus-five. She parred the final three holes to remain atop the leaderboard.

"I'm really happy with today," Hull said. "I am very happy with the up-and- down on 18. But it's kind of an interesting format thinking that we're all equal going into tomorrow. But I'm just happy with the way I'm playing, and hoping to make some more birdies tomorrow."

Stanford connected on back-to-back birdie chances from the second to move into red figures at minus-one. Birdies at six and 11 got her within one of Hull.

The two-time Solheim Cup performer stumbled to a bogey on the 13th. Stanford atoned for that mistake with birdies at 15 and 16 to end alone in second place.

Jeong Jang and Angela Park both posted two-under 70s Friday to share sixth place at 143. Seon Hwa Lee and Ji-Yai Shin are one back at even-par.

This unique event has the top-16 players advancing to Saturday's third round. Scores will be re-set prior to the round so all 16 players are tied entering round three.

The field will be cut to eight players for Sunday's final round and the same thing will happen with the scores re-setting.

Along with Sorenstam and Ochoa, Laura Diaz, Maria Hjorth, Cristie Kerr and Morgan Pressel were among the 15 players who finished over the three-over par cut line.
