CATRIONA GAINS ON THE LEADERS

Catriona Matthew moved up to a share of fifth place with a third-round 67 in the Scandinavian TPC at Bro-Blasta Golf Club on Saturday.
It was the Scot's best round for some time. She birdied the first, fifth, ninth, 11th, 17th and 18th and did not have a single bogey. Her earlier scores were 74 and 70.
Catriona is on 211, five shots behind joint leaders Annika Sorenstam, the patron of the tournament, and Mexico's Lorena Ochoa. They both scored four-under-par 69s on Saturday.
Clare Queen did not too badly with a 72 for 220. Clare had one bogey and two birdies and is in joint 40th place.
