South Korea&aposs Jee Young Lee soared to the top of the field as Australian Lindsey Wright stumbled at the McDonald&aposs LPGA Championship in Maryland. World No.1 Lorena Ochoa slipped two off the pace after the third round of the women&aposs major as Lee&aposs seven-under-par 65 put her 12-under-par overall, and a shot ahead of Sweden&aposs Maria Hjorth. Halfway leader Ochoa and 10-time major winner Annika Sorenstam are in a share of third place on 10 under. Wright signed for a third-round 73 to sit four shots off Lee&aposs hot pace. Countrywoman Karrie Webb (68) kept her slim hopes of victory alive with her best day of the tournament to move within seven shots of the leader. Ochoa, aiming for a third major in a row and the second leg of a season&aposs Grand Slam, led by one shot going into a third round that had a delayed start because of morning fog in Maryland. She made a stuttering start with a bogey at the first and then a double-bogey after bunker trouble at the short seventh – but hit back with three second-half birdies. “It was a disappointing start, and it wasn&apost as good as the first two days,” admitted the Mexican, who is bidding for a seventh win of a remarkable season. “But I&aposm still in a good position – and I&aposm looking forward to tomorrow.” Sorenstam, in her retirement year, had a flawless four-birdie round. Lee&aposs only win on the LPGA Tour was in the 2005 CJ Nine Bridges Classic in her native Korea, and the long-hitting 22-year-old made her move with a round of six birdies and an eagle at the long 15th.
