Free golf videos online Lorena Ochoa continued her dominating season yesterday, winning the LPGA Tour's $1.3-million Ginn Open for her fourth straight title.
Ochoa became the first woman to win four straight titles since Annika Sorenstam in 2001. Mickey Wright (1961, '62) and Katey Whitworth ('69) also won four straight events.
Sorenstam (2004-05) and Nancy Lopez ('78) share the tour record with five straight victories in events entered. However, neither of those came in consecutive weeks.
Ochoa will take a break next week when she sits out the Stanford Invitation Pro-Am. She is scheduled to play again in two weeks in Tulsa, Okla.
"I survived. I was tired - mentally and physically tired," Ochoa said. "I didn't have my legs at the end for the last two or three holes. I'm just glad I hung in there and was able to finish strong. For sure, I'm ready to take a break."
The world's top-ranked player, Ochoa also won for the fifth time in six events this year. The Mexican was coming off an astounding 11-shot victory last week at the Corona Championship.
"I think I'm hitting my irons really good and I keep giving myself birdie chances," Ochoa said. "I did miss a lot of putts today. But definitely, I won the tournament because of my second shots, just being so consistent."
Things were a lot tighter this week for Ochoa, who squandered the final-round lead before reclaiming it to win by three shots over 19-year-old Yani Tseng golf videos
It was the 22nd career title for Ochoa, who shot a 3-under-par 69 to finish at 19-under 269 overall.
A future Hall of Famer, Ochoa continued another streak in which she has never lost when entering the final round with a lead.
Weekley snags Heritage title: Three ahead of the chasing pack overnight, Boo Weekley fired a par 71 in blustery conditions at Harbour Town Golf Links to secure his second PGA Tour win.
Weekley posted a 15-under total of 269. Fellow American Anthony Kim, helped by three birdies in a row from the 13th, also carded a 71 to share second place with Aaron Baddeley of Australia (69).
Calgary's Stephen Ames (72) finished at 281 and won $34,217.
