Brian Hewitt Sees What I See

...not dead people, but that the media is starting to pay attention to Lorena Ochoa.

Ochoa’s still alive for the women’s Grand Slam, of course. Three majors remain on this season’s schedule. But because of her current form, people are now talking about her the same way they were talking about Tiger Woods about a month ago.

That was before Woods suffered his first loss of the year at Doral. He followed that with another dodgy putting week at the Masters Tournament earlier this month. Last Tuesday Woods underwent knee surgery and might not be back until the U.S. Open in June.

So the focus on professional golf is slowly shifting towards Ochoa and the women’s game. And the experts are beginning to wonder if Mexico’s Ochoa will lose again this year. If she wins in her next start, it will tie an LPGA record of five straight wins currently shared by Nancy Lopez (1978) and Sorenstam (2004-2005).

We will talk about this more on today's 19th Hole Golf Show.
