The LPGA Tour Could've Shown Ochoa's Final Tournament
Last weekend, there were probably about a handful of articles bemoaning the LPGA Tour's inability to somehow broadcast the Tres Marias Championship, which was Lorena Ochoa's last as a full-time pro golfer. Some wondered if it was a contractual issue for Golf Channel in their deal with the LPGA. ...
Longest Made-Cut Streaks
This past weekend during her final appearance as an LPGA regular, Lorena Ochoa made the cut for the 102nd straight time. She last missed the cut in October 2005 at the Longs Drugs Challenge. Not every tournament trims the field after its second round but it can't be denied that Ochoa's streak is...

Ochoa Video
During the first part of the 2008 season, I regularly DVR'd each televised LPGA round, clipped out highlights from each and posted them. Yes, I had a heck of a lot more free time then! Those clips are still out there on YouTube, in case you're interested in viewing them. In honor of Lorena...
We Should Have Seen the Signs Mounting for Ochoa's Retirement
When I got my first message this morning in NYC asking me if I knew what was up with Lorena, I asked back to the sender if they had heard Ochoa was pregnant. Nope, she was retiring, I was told. I immediately phoned down to Daytona Beach to see if what I was told was true. It was. They were just...
