Angela Stanford and Sun Young Yoo both had 69s Saturday and share third place at 206.

Gustafson looked as though she was going to run away with the title on the front nine. She made four birdies in a five-hole span and built her lead to four strokes with a birdie on the 10th. But Ochoa played the final seven holes in 5-under to close the gap.

Leta Lindley (66) moved into a share of fifth at 207 with Maria Hjorth (72), Paula Creamer (69) and Morgan Pressel (67).
