LPGA Ready To Go

Hello. The LPGA is ready to start this week in Hawaii. Many questions are on people's minds:

  1. Is Lorena Ochoa on her way to an even better season? Could be. Ochoa has done everything except win a major. She's a threat to win every week. Her composure is something every player should copy. She seems unfazed by anything, winning or not. She seems to be the real deal to me.
  2. Is Annika Sorenstam on her way to an even better season? Could be. Annika had only a good year by her standards. Rumours of her wanting to start a family and being involved in several off-course ventures could be true. Does she have anything left to prove? Will she be considered the best ever if she quit today? I'd be tempted to say so. I don't think she has to beat Kathy Whitworth's career win record for the same reason I don't think Tiger Woods has to beat Sam Snead's career win record - because Whitworth and Snead are not considered the best players ever (Mickey Wright and Jack Nicklaus are of the retired players).
  3. Is Karrie Webb on her way to an even better season? Could be. Webb has started off with non-LPGA wins in Australia. She could be more determined to prove last year was not a fluke, or a last hurrah.
  4. What of the non-winners with all the potential? Gulbis, Michelle Wie, Morgan Pressel and company will have to go to beat the 3 ladies above. I hope they come close if they don't succeed.

It's shaping up to be a very good year, in some ways much more interesting than the PGA.

Regards,

Steve
