Ochoa Comes Up Big

Hello. Congrats to Lorena Ochoa for her 6th win of the year and locking up LPGA Player of the Year honours. It's well deserved.
Just to put this in perspective, Ochoa becomes the first player not named Webb or Sorenstam to win this award since 1996. That means great players like Se Ri Pak haven't done it. Webb and Sorenstam gave it a try to the end, but were bested by the most deserving winner.
Ochoa is only 24, and the future looks bright. The only thing she didn't accomplish this year was win a major. Since she has yet to win one in her career, I'm sure it will be her #1 priority in 2007. I'm thinking she could win the Kraft Nabisco, as she lost in a playoff to Webb this year.
Ironically, with 6 wins, Ochoa may not win the money title. That's because the first ever LPGA windup event pays $1M+ to the winner, a huge prize in ladies' golf. There are only about 4 players who can catch Ochoa with a win and an Ochoa meltdown, but it is possible. It hopefully will be interesting to see.
Can Ochoa continue at this level? I've always been very impressed with her during her interviews. She talks and acts like a champion. And she's delivered in the toughest of situations.
Congrats Lorena and all the best! It was a terrific 2006!

Regards,
Steve
