Lorena Ochoa, dueling with Shin for the player of the year title, was two strokes back in a tie for third with one hole to play.</p><p>Heavy rain swamped the course Friday and Saturday, forcing tournament officials to cut the tournament to 54 holes. The fairways were still water-logged Sunday, so players were allowed to lift, clean and place.</p><p>Players will resume their second rounds Monday morning. The top 70 and ties will immediately begin the final rounds.</p><img src="http://admatch-syndication.mochila.com/images/ad.gif?aid=64020365&bid=informcom" /></div><div id="copyright"><div>
