OCHOA GOES SIX CLEAR AFTER NIGHTMARE
80s FOR MATTHEW AND WARD

Catriona Matthew had a nightmare third round of 80 in the Ricoh Women's British Open championship over the Old Course, St Andrews today.
After opening scores of 73 and 68, the North Berwick player was breathing down the neck of leader Lorena Ochoa but Catriona dropped three strokes very early on - and that seemed to shake her confidence. She required 40 for both halves and has dropped to a share of seventh place on 221 alongside American Wendy Ward who also had a bad Saturday with an 80.
Ochoa surged clear with a par 73 for six-under-par 213 and leads by six strokes from Sweden's Linda Wessberg with one round to go.
