Catriona Matthew's 69 is joint best of third round

Lorena Ochoa goes eight shots clear in Singapore

Women's British Open champion Lorena Ochoa is beginning to exercise a Tiger Woods-style dominance over her LPGA Tour peers.
The Mexican shot a third-round, three-under-par 69 for a 52-hole tally of 16-under-par 200 in the HBSC Champions' tournament in Singapore today.
She leads by eight strokes from American Paula Creamer and former world No 1 Annika Sorenstam (Sweden).
North Berwick's Catriona Matthew matched Ochoa's best of the day 69 to move into joint 13th place with one round to go. Catriona is improving with every round, having scored 74 in the first round and 72 in the second to be on one under par 215.
Compatriots Mhairi McKay and Janice Moodie are on 218 and 221 respectively.
