REUNION, Fla. — Everyone is chasing Lorena Ochoa — again.

Ochoa shot a 7-under 65 in the third round of the Ginn Open yesterday to reach 16-under 200 and take a one-shot lead over rookie Yani Tseng.

The Mexican star is 18 holes away from her fourth victory in four weeks.

"I just like the way I feel right now," Ochoa said. "I trust that my game is at a good level and I should be ready for anything."

She started the round three shots behind Tseng and was four back after a bogey on No. 2. But the world's No. 1 player made three consecutive birdies beginning with the par-5 ninth and took the lead for good with a near-perfect approach shot on No. 11.

She gave Tseng and a few others a chance to keep it close by just missing birdie putts on the next three holes. The 26-year-old Ochoa then closed out her round with birdies on 15 and 18, pumping her right fist after each one hit the bottom of the cup.

Tseng birdied two of her final three holes for a 69. Teresa Lu (69) was 11 under, one stroke ahead of Carin Koch (70) and Suzann Pettersen (72).

Koch, who kept pace with Ochoa most of the day before a bogey-double bogey finish dropped her six shots back, said she would be surprised if anyone caught Ochoa.

"She'd have to have a really bad day, which is hard to imagine the way she's playing," Koch said.

Tseng, who has five top-25 finishes in five starts this year, had hoped to play with Ochoa in the third round. Instead, she was a group behind and watched Ochoa climb the leaderboard and eventually pass her.

"I don't want to put too much pressure (on myself)," Tseng said. "I want to learn something from her."

DEFENDING CHAMPION WEEKLY LEADS HERITAGE

Defending champion Boo Weekley continued his remarkable run at Harbour Town Golf Links, using a stretch of five straight birdies to move in front in the Verizon Heritage at Hilton Head Island, S.C.

Weekley shot a 6-under 65 to reach 15-under 198 and move three strokes ahead of Anthony Kim (67) and five in front of Aaron Baddeley (67), Jason Bohn (67) and Cliff Kresge (68). Second-round leader Lucas Glover shot a 73 to drop seven shots back at 205.

Weekley chipped in on the 71st and 72nd holes a year ago to beat Ernie Els for his first PGA Tour victory. The good-natured, self-proclaimed country boy from the Florida Panhandle hasn't slowed down in his return.

Dean Wilson, a Castle High alum, is 12 shots behind at 210 after a 70, while Punahou alum Parker McLachlin struggled to a 74 and is at 211.

WIEBE STILL COOKING IN STEAKHOUSE PRO-AM

Knee surgery hasn't slowed Mark Wiebe a bit.

Coming off a victory two weeks ago in the Cap Cana Championship in the Dominican Republic, Wiebe followed his opening 66 with a 65 to take a three-stroke lead in the Champions Tour's Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am at Lutz, Fla.

Wiebe is at 11-under 131, tying the event 36-hole record held by Bruce Fleisher (2000 and 2002). Defending champion Tom Watson (71) and Scott Hoch (67) were 8 under, and Tom Jenkins (66) and Mike Reid (68) followed at 6 under.
