MORELIA, Mexico – Defending champion Lorena Ochoa shot her second straight bogey-free 8-under 65 to take a three-stroke lead over Suzann Pettersen in the Corona Championship on Friday.

Ochoa, the top-ranked Mexican star who also won the 2006 tournament at Tres Marias, eagled the par-5 eighth hole and had six birdies. The fifth-ranked Pettersen shot a 64.

“I’m very satisfied with my putting,” Ochoa said. “I was able to get the birdies and that makes me very happy. Hopefully, I can keep making them for me and the public.

Fil-Am Dorothy Delasin missed the cut at 146 with 72-77. (AP)
