  Prattville, AL (Sports Network) - Defending champion Lorena Ochoa fired a six- under 66 on Saturday and moved into sole possession of the lead after the third round of the Navistar LPGA Classic.

  Ochoa finished at 16-under 200 and is three strokes clear of Sandra Gal, who also managed a 66 on Saturday, at The Senator Course at Capitol Hill Golf Club.

  Michelle Wie shot an even-par 72 and is in the large group with Thompson at minus-eight.
