Lorena leaves the course

Mexican super star and world number one, Lorena Ochoa, is about to retire indefinitely from professional golf. Grupo Ochoa, who's in charged of representing her, announced that she'll giver her reasons and further details this Friday, during a press conference.

Ochoa has battled with her consistency since last year.

Lorena's  management group sent the invitation last Thursday and cleared out that the reasons for this unusual event was to celebrate her 3rd anniversary as women's golf leader and also "due to other important changes in her schedule". Nevertheless, today around 9:30 am, the Director's Assistant emailed the media and confirmed that Lorena was stepping away from the LPGA, which was already spread by Mexican newspaper, Reforma, early this morning. 

Seems like Lorena will leave for personal reasons, she wants to spend more time with her family, don't forget she got married last December with AeroMexico's CEO, Andrés Conesa. Also, she's determined to focus a bit more in her foundation. Nevertheless, this decision is pretty strange, especially after she declared (in February) that she was ready to protect her position in the Rolex Rankings. 

With this, it's possible that the Tres Marías Championship will be her last event, leaving some issues pending, such as her sponsors and the involvement and participation she'll have in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational, which is scheduled for November.
