Lorena Ochoa is competing this week at the Michelob ULTRA Open coming off her second worst performance of the year last week…a tie for fifth! In seven tournaments so far this year, she has five wins, a tie for eighth and a tie for fifth. It’s a remarkable start to the year that has people talking about all sorts of records previously considered unattainable.

She has her work cut out for her right from the start this week, as the #1 ranked women’s golfer is paired with the #2 and #3 ranked players for the first two rounds. Showing poise under added pressure and attention, she fired a clutch 6-under 65 in cool, damp conditions and is tied for third after round one.

As you can see in the image, in addition to her customary white Classics, Lorena opted for the black/red Performance Light Jacket (style #33673) during yesterday’s first round.

Also, check out this great article in Virginia’s Daily Press about Lorena’s impact on and off the golf course and how she embraces the opportunity to be a role model for young people.

More players wore FootJoy shoes than any other shoe brand at the 2008 PLAYERS Championship.

With the season’s “fifth major” upon us, the Tour moves to one of the most famous and recognizable venues in the game…the TPC at Sawgrass.

However, this week calls for warm, sunny days and the players say the course is already playing hard, fast and difficult. Listen to these interviews with Dudley Hart and Camilo Villegas to hear more about the course conditions and what they’re doing to prepare for a tough test.
