Ochoa Rolls Again IV
Hello. Congrats to Lorena Ochoa again for winning Sunday. It's her 5th win in 6 starts in 2008. Tiger numbers indeed!
Lorena is doing all this when LPGA competition is supposedly at its highest level in years. Hall of Famers Karrie Webb and Annika Sorenstam are still in her 30s. Paula Creamer, Natalie Gulbis, Morgan Pressel, Suzann Pettersen, etc are supposed to be the new challengers for titles. There's the Asian Invasion, all the wonderful Japanese and South Korean golfers.
The question now becomes, how many wins will Lorena end up with? The LPGA record is 13 in a season by Mickey Wright. Annika had 11 one year. The sky could be the limit the way she's going.
If she wins the LPGA, she'll be half way to a Grand Slam, and have 3 parts of a Lorena Slam, having won the Women's British Open last year. What an achievement that would be!
Ochoa and Woods should be mentioned together. And since one of them can win the Grand Slam this year, we'll have to be nice to let Tiger be mentioned in the same breath as Lorena.
Congrats again Lorena!
Regards,
Steve
