Ochoa breathes life to title campaign

-

DANVILLE, California – Top-ranked Lorena Ochoa birdied five of her last seven holes for a 7-under 65 and a share of the third-round lead with Sophie Gustafson in the CVS/pharmacy Challenge on Saturday.

Jennifer Rosales carded a one-under par 71 and hardly improved from a disastrous second round 75 as she shared 44th place with four others at 214, 14 shots off the pace.

Rosales, who had a fine start of 69, birdied two of the first seven holes but fumbled with three bogeys against two more birdies for a 36-35 round.

Ochoa is winless in 10 starts since taking the Corona Championship in her Mexico homeland in late April. She has only two victories in 16 events this year after winning 21 times in the previous three years.

Angela Stanford and Sun Young Yoo were six strokes back at 10 under after 69s, and Paula Creamer (69), Morgan Pressel (67), Leta Lindley (66) and Maria Hjorth (72) followed at 9 under on the Blackhawk Country Club course.   (AP)
