Lorena out of Ginn Tribute

Lorena Ochoa has withdrawn from the Ginn Tribute hosted by Annika:

The world’s No. 1-ranked woman golfer said in a statement that her uncle was ill, and she needed to be with her family. Tournament organizers say she left for Mexico on Tuesday night.

There's been a rash of big-name withdrawals from this week's tournaments. Vijay Singh and Adam Scott pulled out of The Memorial. Of course, Tiger Woods did, too (or rather, decided against entering). There was even a false withdrawal - it was originally thought Ernie Els was withdrawing, then he changed his mind the next day.
