Ochoa and Sorenstam

[muskegman]

Golf .com published a Dottie Pepper article recently ( Ochoa vs. Sorenstam is the real rivalry in golf ) that I don't buy. I don't think that Sorenstam, with one win this season, has created a true rivalry.

I am a Sorenstam fan but she's been out of the regular winning routine for so long now that I don't think one win with no head-to-head battles with Ochoa constitutes a rivalry.

Ochoa has been the central winning figure on the LPGA for about one year and Sorenstam has been non-existent. Rivalry? Not!

What say you?

too early to call since last year was a forfeit for annika and her back problems

I think Annika just as to get back to trusting her swing and play,the mental part of the game is the hardest to get back.

I've thought that Ochoa was sort of replacing Annika as the new dominant LPGA tour player. Not a rivalry. At least right now it's pretty clear Ochoa is the best player (by a lot) so it's hard for me to see a true rivalry. Of course us golfers like the Tiger/Phil rivalry and for the most part that has been one sided as well.
