Lorena..What a Champion thinks.

gxer · 11-24-2009, 11:20 AM

A person does not learn to think this way, IMO, a person is born to think this way. Jiyai Shin, IMO, does not think this way.

---------------------------------------------------------
Q. Fourth straight Rolex player of the year. How does that feel to you?
LORENA OCHOA: Well, I think it's for sure really hard to explain right now, but I just think it's not about breaking records. I always say that I want to stay at the top as long as I continue playing, so this is just a great year for me.

It's been tough in many different ways, but the important thing is I'm at the top.

Of course she doesn't because she's not at the top.

"it's not about breaking records"? At the beginning of the year Lorena was talking about wanting to break records.

Blue,

Jiyai lead the POY point race for a long time this year, so she was at the top.
In fact, Jiyai had the POY won and she just didn't have what it takes to hold on to it.

You understand mind set don't you Blue? Lorena thinks like a POY should think, Jiyai does not. It just may be that Jiyai is too nice of a person to be a POY.

It's good to know you're such a good mind reader. Nobody had it won. It's not over until it's over.

Jiyai Shin's was one shot out of the lead after round 2 but her +1 for the last round looks out of place compared to those around her.

That's why they play all four rounds of a tournament. Or in this case, all three rounds.

Really, is that why she was +1 in the 3rd round?

I seem to remember not too many years ago Lorena having problems finishing in the top spot on Sunday.... Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Don't all golfers lose more than they win?

If you are trying to make a point that Lorena has improved with age, OK, that's fair, but she still only won 3 times this year in 22 events.
