But Sweden's Annika Sorenstam claimed a two-shot lead with a 69 - the only player to finish the right side of par - was best placed for victory and confirmation of her status as world No.1. Sorenstam was two ahead of a couple of Americans, Juli Inkster and Jill McGill. Moodie was six back on 214, with fellow Scot Mhairi McKay and England's Laura Davies, who had a joint best of day 68, on 216.
She did hit back with three birdies but then dropped three shots in the final four holes. Moodie said: "It was the finish that was really disappointing. "I could really have been right in there, but six is a lot to make up, especially on Annika." McKay made her 71 with a fighting finish. Two over par after just five holes, she birdied the 16th and 18th from inside 10 feet to join Davies in a tie for eleventh place. | |
