On Sunday, the best female golfers in the world will again be chasing Sorenstam, who said she knows the road ahead is a long one ahead, but regaining the top ranking is a goal.
"I feel great how the season is shaping up, so we'll see what happens," she said.
Jang, who played in the final group with Sorenstam and Ochoa, shook off an aching wrist and a bogey on the first hole for a 69. The final threesome Sunday also will include Christina Kim, who was four back after a 66.
After watching Sorenstam for 18 holes, Jang thinks the Swede is past her struggles.
"I don't think she's going to be back," Jang said, dismissing the idea that Sorenstam, a 71-time winner, might come back to the pack on Sunday. "I think she's almost there."
Kim, meanwhile, has won twice in her career, and said the key for her on Sunday will be in paying more attention to her own game and less to the other players in her group.
"I'm just chasing myself right now," she said. "I'm just going out there to just enjoy myself and see where the numbers end. If I end up beating Annika, that would be awesome.
"If I end up not, but still have a great tournament, awesome."
Maria Hjorth is fourth, six shots back, after a 66, and five players are tied for fifth, another shot off the pace. That group includes Candie Kung, who has two 66s sandwiched around a 74, and Jee Young Lee, who lost to Suzann Pettersen in a playoff here last year.
