Is Lorena the Tiger of the LPGA Tour?

All I know is that she is much cuter than T Dub.
Lorena, Morgan, and Paula is a foursome I'd like!

My math might be off a little here, but Lorena, Morgan & Paula sounds a little more like a threesome than a foursome to me . . . or were you planning on being the 4th?

There are a lot of intersting replies in here and I'd have to go along with pretty much all of you guys. I agree with them, they all made sense in different ways and points. I vote for "wishy-washy", with a side of "I believe she has what it takes to achieve that level of greatness".

She's only been good for a couple of years, has only 1 major, but the biggest difference is that she is much less marketable (not-good looking, not much personality, no "invincibility")

as much as i would like to play a round of golf with lorena, i feel sad for all the americans that are losing their jobs because of her. i guess she does have her green card working permit and so its legit but does anyone know if she's ever been checked to have one?

To be fair, she has two now, though I agree with the gist of your post and said as much in podcast #83.

She's only 26, won six LPGA Tournaments in '06, eight LPGA Tournaments in '07 and is off to a great start in '08 (leads HSBC by 7 strokes after two rounds in her first outing of the year).

At this point in '08 Lorena has won four tournaments Iincluding a major) in five starts. It's looking like a huge year for Ochoa.

WTH... she has won 2, not 1... the Kraft Nabrisco and the Women's Open! But I will give you that she's only been good a few years. ... I see someone already cleared that up... whoops I am in the middle on the original question... right now she is dominating fields and such like Tiger, but until she bags a few more majors I'm not ready to compare the two on that level. Just a note... I think that the difference in the LPGA and PGA is that the #100 guy on the PGA money list is a lot closer to the top 10 than the #100 woman on the LPGA list is to her top 10. I don't mean money-wise, but rather talent-wise. The PGA is a lot deeper than the LPGA... so take that for what it's worth.
