Ochoa Leads Women’s Open Championship
Lorena Ochoa has had well documented struggles in the past converting her final round leads during majors. However, at the LPGA’s historic firs trip to St. Andrews for the Women’s Open Championship, Ochoa seems primed to win her first major at golf’s most historic venue.
After another round of even par 73, Ochoa is the only player below par for the tournament. Her closest competitor, Linda Wessberg is at even par and six shots behind. Although she’s had her struggles in the past, Ochoa continues to give herself great opportunities to win her first major, and it seems inevitable that eventually she will cash the check written to her talent and perseverance.
Ochoa’s round today was representative of the number one female golfer in the world. While others struggled, Ochoca cruised into the clubhouse with an easy 73, and although she bogied 18 after missing the green on her approach and three putting through the valley of sin, she was very pleased with her round and time at St. Andrews. "I couldn’t be more pleased. I knew it was going to be tough when I saw the weather but I managed to control my shots and I was close to finishing one under. It’s probably one of the best rounds of my golf career. It’s a mental game in the wind. You finish pretty tired. It consumes you and a good shot feels twice as good," said Ochoa.
After mounting a strong charge in the second round, Annika Sorenstam’s third round 77 puts her seven shots back of Ochoa, and although anything is possible, it would surely take another record breaking performance from "Mrs. 59" along with some help from Ochoa for Annika to win her eleventh major championship. Michelle Wie’s difficult road back continued, after a first at even par, a second round score of 80 lead to yet another missed cut and a poor performance.
