Bowden overcame a triple-bogey at the 10th hole thanks to a mistake by his caddy. He finished with his second consecutive three-under 69 and is alone in second at minus-six.
Tom Johnson, Jarrod Lyle and Michael Sim are all five-under par, but have yet to complete their second rounds.
"I hit it fairly well," said Stadler, who won this year's Xerox Classic and Boise Open. "I only had to chip once and it's usually a pretty good score when that happens."
But it meant a lot for Stadler to play well this week, because he has not played well lately. After his win in Boise, Stadler missed the cut in his last two starts.
"I really didn't know what to expect," acknowledged Stadler. "I wasn't hitting it very good coming in. Thankfully, it's kind of like a light switch for me. It's either good or bad."
"I'd rather him learn that here as opposed to going out on the regular tour and costing me the U.S. Open or something," said Bowden, who is second on the money list and also going to the PGA Tour in 2007. "We took it on the chin as a team right there."
She is 11-under-par 133 through two rounds at Amata Spring Country Club, which is hosting the first-ever LPGA event in Thailand.
Meanwhile, Castrale is leading for the first time heading into the final round.
She had been competing on the Futures Tour since losing her LPGA status following the 2003 season.
"I pretty much have stuck to the same game plan [this year] and I felt like sooner or later things would come together," said Castrale. "Hopefully this is the week that it all comes together."
She began her second round with four consecutive birdies, making putts between three and 20 feet, and was 12-under around the turn after making another birdie at the seventh.
"The back nine definitely got windy, but I still think I played pretty good," said Castrale. "I am definitely happy with the outcome.

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.
Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.
Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.
Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.
All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.
A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
