Ochoa and Bentley Are #1

Hello. Congrats to Lorena Ochoa for making it to #1. It was inevitable, especially after Annika Sorenstam suffered a back injury.
After meeting another champion, Lisa Bentley, on Saturday, I can honestly say Lisa and Lorena are cut from the same cloth. Humble, kind, as likable as ice cream, yet driven, determined, focused.
How do they do it? How do they keep their feet on the ground while achieving such lofty heights? My thinking is they do celebrate their goals when they occur, but they are looking ahead to their next goal. For Lorena Ochoa, it's winning her first major. For Lisa Bentley, it's winning her first world Ironman triathlon. Their other accomplishments, while great in themselves, are stepping stones on a loonger journey.
That does amaze me, the same way people get all over Tiger Woods for "letting" Zach Johnson win the Masters. Tiger did no such thing. And remember for most players, finishing 2nd in the Masters once is their career accomplishment.
Maybe that is the whole point, that champions set higher goals, and don't stop until they're achieved. And by not stopping, they are already champions.

Regards,
Steve
