LPGA: Lee moves two clear of Ochoa in New Jersey


Clifton, NJ (Sports Network) - Sarah Lee fired a seven-under 65 Saturday to move two strokes clear of Women's World No. 1 Lorena Ochoa after three rounds of the Sybase Classic.
Lee, who led after the first and second rounds last week before finishing third, completed 54 holes at 16-under-par 200. Ochoa, who is the defending champion, carded her second straight 67 and is alone in second at minus-14.
Those two are well ahead of the field as Kate Golden (67), Young Jo (70) and reigning Women's British Open champion Sherri Steinhauer (70) share third place at seven-under-par 209 at Upper Montclair Country Club.
Lee and Ochoa battled for the lead for the first 10 holes before Lee took control. Lee birdied the first and Ochoa the second as they headed to the third tied at 10-under.
At the third, Ochoa hit a solid approach to six feet, and Lee stuffed her second inside a foot. Both converted their birdie chances.
Lee came right back with a two-foot birdie putt on four and an eight-footer for birdie on five to get to 13-under.
Ochoa, who won this event when it was played in New York last year, responded with a four-foot eagle putt at five and a three-foot birdie effort at six to grab the lead at 14-under.
