Matthews closes in on Ochoa

Scotland’s Catriona Matthews produced a superb 68 to move on to the heels of world number one Lorena Ochoa in the Ricoh Women’s British Open at St Andrews today – but for Michelle Wie it was yet another sorry tale.

While Matthews, twice a winner on the course in her amateur days, kept a bogey off her card in the windy conditions Wie’s woes returned with an 80 that sent her crashing out of the event at halfway on seven over.
