Do you think Ochao ( or whatever her name is) had anything to do w/ this? Was she just not up for grinding it out against somebody new? I remember you posting a while ago that would be a great rivalry..too bad it won't happen now. Although, she really has...done enough

I really don't think Lorena has anything to do with it. I know her and Mike want to start a family after they get married in January. It's tough for those women out there to maintain their level of play after having kids. Their priorities change. I think Annika could have played for many more years and broken every LPGA record there is...but she obviously feels its time for her to walk away and I can respect that.

thnx Kev...she always seemed "young" to me..just hard to equate that w/ retirement, although I understand her priorities

I've played worse since I started to look pregnant
