THE WEEK IN REVIEW (3/24 - 3/30)
With most of the male elite taking the week off, we watched a South American star-in-the making win on the PGA Tour, the return of an established star in Europe, the arrival of a 19-year-old domestic star in Africa, and a semi-runaway of a Hall-of-Famer on the Champions Tour. Oh yes, Lorena Ochoa also won again. Ho hum.
PGA Tour: Zurich Classic of New Orleans – Avondale, LA
Argentina’s 26-year-old Andres Romero greeted the international golfing world at last year’s Open Championship, where only a meltdown at the 71st cost him a chance at pulling one of the bigger upsets in recent memory. On Sunday, he said a more formal hello to the PGA Tour, where in only his 12th U.S. start, he captured the Zurich Classic by a single stroke over Australia’s Peter Lonard, with a 13-under-par total of 275. Romero began the rain-interrupted week slowly with a Thursday 73, but made up massive ground with a third-round 65 that wasn’t completed until early Sunday morning. He then posted a closing 68 that included back-to-back birdies at the 11th and 12th, then what would ultimately prove the clincher, a kick-in three at the par-4 16th. Because the weather delay necessitated retaining third-round pairings for the finale, Romero finished more than two hours ahead of the last groups, mandating a long wait as his final pursuers, Lonard and Woody Austin, fell by the wayside. Lonard stood 13 under through 16 before bogeying the par-3 17th and making a disappointing par five at the last, while Austin arrived at the 18th needing a birdie to tie, then proceeded to meltdown with an ugly double-bogey seven. Aside from gaining U.S. playing privileges through 2010, Romero moves from 40th to 21st in the Official World Ranking, and from 119th to 12th in PGA Tour earnings – and we have surely not heard the last of him.

European PGA Tour: MAPFRE Open de Andalucia – Andalucia, Spain
It wasn’t so very long ago that France’s Thomas Levet was part of a four-man playoff for the 2002 Open Championship (won by Ernie Els) and finishing 5th in the 2004 E Tour Order of Merit. But two years after a 2006 bout with vertigo, when, in Levet’s words “just to be standing up was a victory,” the affable Frenchman completed an inspiring comeback on Sunday by defeating England’s 19-year-old Oliver Fisher in sudden death at the Open de Andalucia. Both Levet and Fisher began the final round one back of third-round leader Lee Westwood, but Westwood, despite birdieing four of the first six holes, later stumbled, while Levet and Fisher charged home with 67s. Though Levet boldly birdied the 14th, 16th and 17th, the title lay well within Fisher’s grasp until he drove into a pond at the 72nd, the ensuing bogey leaving the pair deadlocked on 16-under-par 272. Fisher then missed the green to bogey the first playoff hole, leaving Levet standing with his fourth career E Tour title. Westwood, the defending champion, came home in 71 to finish a somewhat disappointing 3rd. The victory lifts Levet from 270th to 130th in the world ranking, though its importance to his career surely cannot be measured in numbers alone.

Sunshine Tour: Chainama Hills Zambia Open – Lusaka, Zambia
In only his eighth Sunshine Tour start, 19-year-old Tyrone Ferreira closed with a windblown 75 to claim the maiden victory of his professional career at the Zambia Open. Starting the day two strokes ahead of first-round leader Johan Etsebeth, Ferreira fought his way through three early bogeys, but in the end, the difficult conditions limited the ability of any potential challengers to mount a serious charge. Ferreira’s total of eight-under-par 280 defeated Charl Coetzee and Divan van den Heever by two, but given the weakness of the field, he still has not accumulated enough points to break into the world ranking.

LPGA Tour: Safeway International – Superstition Mountain, AZ
This is fast becoming monotonous. Lorena Ocha began her week as the Safeway International impressively, firing a seven-under-par 65 on Thursday – and, amazingly, found herself three shots behind the dazzling 62 posted by Angela Stanford. A second 67 on Friday marched Ochoa closer, but Stanford’s 69 was good enough to hold a one-shot lead. Grinding inexorably onward, Ochoa added a Saturday 68 to nose into the lead, then turned on the afterburners with a sterling Sunday 66 to win going away, the final margin being seven. That Jee Young Lee and Minea Blomqvist took 2nd and 3rd respectively seems of little relevance (except, perhaps, to their bankers); that former-world-number-one-now-bent-on-a-comback Annika Sorenstam could do no better than a tie for 9th, on the other hand, does carry some weight in the bigger picture. Though an inexplicable flop in her homeland two weeks ago, Ochoa has now won two of three 2008 starts by a combined margin of 18 shots. Any thoughts on an early favorite for next week’s Kraft Nabisco Championship?

INTERVIEW: OCHOA
Champions Tour: Ginn Championship Hammock Beach Resort – Palm Coast, FL
As few players have been more competitive in their late 40s on the PGA Tour (e.g. a playoff loss at Colonial at age 49), it stands to reason that Bernhard Langer would find fast success on the Champions Tour. A single win in five late 2007 starts suggested that there would indeed be no senior let-down and now, with two victories in six ’08 tries, Langer seems poised to emerge as perhaps the dominant player in seniordom. His victory at the Ginn Championship was in stark contrast to Langer’s marathon playoff win three weeks ago at California’s Toshiba Classic; he began the day two ahead of Lonnie Nielsen but under windy conditions, an outgoing 35 set him six clear of the field, and a birdie at the 10th extended the lead to seven. There wasn’t too much to discuss thereafter. The victory places Langer nearly $300,000 ahead of 2nd-place Scott Hoch on the 2008 money list and, perhaps more importantly, may well serve as a springboard to the sort of Champions dominance which, fair or otherwise, so many observers are expecting.
