Sorenstam and Ochoa set for battle

Annika Sorenstam and Lorena Ochoa, the world’s top two players, set up the prospect of a thrilling weekend battle after the second round of the Michelob ULTRA Open at the Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Virginia.

Sweden’s Sorenstam, already a two-time winner this year, had a joint best 66 for 12-under-par 130, while Ochoa, who has extended her lead at the head of the world rankings with five victories from seven starts this year, had a 68 and shared second spot with South Korea’s Jeong Jang on nine-under.
