(Reuters) - Morgan Pressel shot a two-under-par 70 on Saturday to seize a two-stroke lead going into a 36-hole Sunday finish at the weather-delayed LPGA Championship at Locust Hill outside Rochester, New York.

The short-hitting Pressel, looking for her first LPGA Tour win in five years and her second major championship title, relied on her accuracy on a course playing extremely long after heavy rains, stood at six-under-par 138.
