Ochoa holds the keys

Lorena Ochoa shot her second straight one-under 71 to grab a one-shot lead after the third round of the LPGA Kraft Nabisco Championship. Ochoa posted four birdies including three straight as the world No.1 moved to six-under 210 after 54 holes in the first major of the season.

After shooting even-par on the front nine, the Mexican recorded birdies on 10-12 to open her lead. Ochoa then bogeyed 15 fr the third-straight day and also bogeyed the last hole to bring herself back to the pack.

Ochoa leads South Korea's Han Hee-Won by one stroke and the trio of Cristie Kerr, Sweden's Maria Hjorth and South Korea's Seon Hwa-lee by two shots. Annika Sorenstam, who is looking to win this event for the fourth time, had a turbulent round with four birdies and five bogeys. She finished one-over for the round.
