Can Lorena 3-Peat?

Hello. On Thursday the McDonald's LPGA Championship begins. And what a field it is. Having said that, the one person they're chasing is Lorena Ochoa.
Lorena is coming back from a week off mourning her uncle's death. However, she'll still be the overwhelming favourite to win her 3rd major in a row, and 2nd of 2008.
The question is, will she do it? Maybe not. Bulle Rock, the host site for the LPGA, is one Ochoa hasn't conquered yet. Others in the field (Webb, Pak, Inkster, Annika) have.
I think Lorena will do it. She still has something to prove in spite of her great record. She still has goals and doubters waiting to jump on a slip-up.
The truth is, this woman is definitely the female Tiger. She hits it longer than most, is calm, and has a great short game. She's matured a lot the last two years. And she's still young and keen. I know she wants to win while Annika's still around, because next year when she wins all she'll hear is that Annika wasn't around.
Here's hoping for a great LPGA!

Regards,
Steve
