Lorena Ochoa continued her superb season on Sunday, winning the Ginn Open for her fourth straight title.
Ochoa became the first woman to win four straight titles since Annika Sorenstam in 2001. Mickey Wright (1961 and 1962) and Katey Whitworth (1969) also won four straight events.
Sorenstam (2004-05) and Nancy Lopez (1978) share the tour record with five straight victories in events entered. However, neither of those came in consecutive weeks.
Ochoa will take a break next week when she sits out the Stanford Invitation Pro-Am. She is scheduled to play again in two weeks in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The world's top-ranked player, Ochoa also won for the fifth time in six events this year. The Mexican was coming off an astounding 11-shot victory last week at the Corona Championship.
Things were a lot tighter this week for Ochoa, who squandered the final-round lead before reclaiming it to win by three shots over 19-year-old Yani Tseng.
It was the 22nd career title for Ochoa, who shot a three-under-par 69 to finish at 19-under 269 overall.
A future Hall of Famer, Ochoa continued another trend in which she has never lost when entering the final round with a lead.
Holding a one-shot lead entering the final round, Ochoa fell behind after Tseng started with consecutive birdies.
Ochoa eventually took the lead with three straight birdies starting at number eight. She began her run by sinking a 10-foot putt at the par-four eighth.
With the pressure mounting, Tseng struggled down the stretch, bogeying three of her final six holes en route to a 71. The native of Taiwan still managed the best showing of her career with her second-placed finish.
