ACCORDING TO SOURCES, Lorena Ochoa, despite a heavy on- and off-course schedule, will oversee the retirement party of Annika Sorenstam. The news comes on the heels of yesterdays blockbuster retirement announcement by Sorenstam.
I feel strongly about giving back to my game, I mean, the game, Ochoa said. Im anxious to give Annika the sendoff she deserves.
While some are openly wondering why Annika will retire this season - especially after three early-season wins - Lorena isnt one of them.
Ive always respected Annikas decision-making on the golf course. I have no doubt that shes also making the right call in this situation. She has my full support.
However, there is a potential scheduling conflict. Ochoa would like to schedule the retirement party for June 9, two weeks before the U.S. Womens Open. Yet Sorenstam has already said she plans to finish the 2008 LPGA season.
In related news, Paula Creamer will reportedly chair the decorations subcommittee.
