Lee takes over in Maryland

South Korea’s Jee Young Lee soared to the top of the field as world number one Lorena Ochoa slipped two off the pace after the third round of the women’s major, the McDonald’s LPGA Championship in Maryland.

Lee’s seven-under-par 65 put her 12-under overall, and a shot ahead of Sweden’s Maria Hjorth – with halfway leader Ochoa and 10-time major winner Annika Sorenstam, in a share of third place on 10-under.
