Lorena Ochoa celebrates her victory at HSBC Women's ChampionsThe world’s top woman’s golfer, Lorena Ochoa was in a class of her own as she claimed the HSBC Women’s Champions tournament, held in Singapore, by an incredible 11 shots. In her first tournament of the year the Mexican posted a four-under 68 to finish the at 20-under 268. Ochoa led from start to finish at the Tanah Merah Country Club and was at her imperious best as she dominated the field, beating Annika Sorenstam in to second place with Paula Creamer claiming the third spot at 7 -under.

Ochoa claimed her 18th LPGA Tour victory despite the rain delays on the final day and became the inaugural winner of Asia’s richest women’s golf event, with a winner’s prize of $300,000. The manner of her victory was so emphatic that her dominance drew comparisons with Tiger Woods.

Another Golfer who would welcome those comparisons is South Africa’s, Ernie Els who claimed his first victory on American soil for nearly 4 years when he won the Honda Classic. Els fired a three-under-par 67 for a six-under total of 274 at Palm Beach Gardens, one shot in front of England’s Luke Donald.  Els ended his drought with his first PGA Tour win in 47 starts and admitted that it had been a long time coming.
