Lorena Ochoa is going to play one more tournament before she retires.
The 28-year-old said Friday in Mexico City she will compete in the Tres Marias Championships next week in her home country town of Morelia. She also said she plans to play in the LPGA's Lorena Ochoa Invitational each November in Guadalajara.
Remember, she confirmed on her website Tuesday she is leaving the game. She got married in December and has talked about wanting to start a family. She said while retirement was a difficult decision, she was "full of happiness."
Ochoa's announcement comes three years to the day she achieved the Number 1 ranking in the world, replacing Annika Sorenstam. She currently has 27 tour victories, two of them major titles ((a Dinah Shore and a British)), and nearly $15 million in earnings.
LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan talks about what the tour will be missing as Ochoa retires, thanks to the LPGA their own selves...
