LPGA Championship winner Yani Tseng (70) and Mollie Fankhauser (73) were tied for third at six-under, and Kristy McPherson (71) was five-under.

World Number 1 Lorena Ochoa from Mexico, a seven-time winner this season who lost a play-off to Suzann Pettersen last year at Blackhawk, shot a 74 to fall to four-under, equal with Australia’s best, Sarah Kemp (71).
