Lorena Ochoa survived a day that roughed up just about everyone Saturday in the Kraft Nabisco Championship, making a testy par putt for a 2-over 74 and a three-stroke lead over 16-year-old Michelle Wie.
Ochoa, 24, led by at least three shots throughout the third round in blustery conditions in Ranch Mirage, Calif.
Phil Mickelson took an eight-stroke lead in the final round of the BellSouth Classic in Duluth, Ga.
He birdied five straight holes on the front nine en route to a 5-under 67 and a 21-under 195 total Saturday.
