GOLF: PGA: Ochoa sets sights on life after golf

/noticias.info/ Lorena Ochoa defends her Ricoh Women's British Open title at Sunningdale with the stated aim of staying as women's world number one for the next "five to six years" and then retiring.

In the week that Sweden's Annika Sorenstam, 37, plays the last major of her glittering career before starting a new chapter in her life, Mexico's sporting superstar laid down her plan to quit golf at a far earlier age.

"I want to be number one as long as I play," said the 26-year-old. "Life is too short. There are many things I want to do outside of golf. This is already my sixth year (as a professional), so should be good - 10-12 years and then move on."

First priority, though, is to emulate Padraig Harrington by retaining the British Open.

Ochoa said: "I want to do it and for sure I think it would be a great story."

A four-stroke victory at St Andrews last August removed any lingering doubts about Ochoa's ability to reign supreme.

Until then she had always come up short in the majors, but having captured the final one of last season she also took the first one of this season in California in April. notas_de_prensa_archivo
