Another Perfect Season In The Works?

Hello. Tiger Woods may not be the only person to have a perfect golf season this year. Lorena Ochoa debuted last week in Singapore with a strong field. She was in the last group Sunday with the two previous LPGA Tour winners, Paula Creamer and Annika Sorenstam. And Ochoa won. By 11!! So much for rust.
So who has the tougher task? Ochoa or Woods?
Ochoa plays more than Tiger, meaning the odds are tougher. However, Tiger only plays the "top" PGA events.
Tiger is older, and more experienced. I also think his fields are weaker. Ochoa still has to deal with Annika, who shows signs of rebirth. Lorena has won only one major so far, so she's still growing.
An advantage Lorena may have over Tiger is media coverage. Not as many people follow the LPGA, so she may "sneak up" to a perfect season, whereas Tiger cannot sneak up on anyone.
Having said the above, I believe both are capable of going undefeated this year. Really. An unheard of statement for any golfer, let alone two. Good luck to both of you!

Regards,
Steve
