Four In a Row for Lorena Ochoa E-mail


Another week, another Lorena Ochoa victory. Ochoa claimed the Ginn Open on Sunday for her fourth straight victory, and fifth of 2008.

Her four consecutive wins have come in consecutive weeks on the LPGA Tour, too, tying a tour record. Mickey Wright, Kathy Whitworth and Annika Sorenstam also won in four straight weeks. Lorena has a new record in her sights: She is  one win away from the overall longest winning streak on the LPGA Tour. Sorenstam  and Nancy Lopez each posted wins in five straight tournaments in which they played.

Ochoa's winning margins.

HSBC Women's Champions: Won by 11
Safeway International: Won by 7
Kraft Nabisco Championship: Won by 5
Corona Championship: Won by 11
Ginn Open: Won by 3

For Ochoa, it was career win No. 22, putting her just two behind Se Ri Pak and Donna Caponi on the LPGA career wins list, 12 victories in 18 months.
