THE WEEK IN REVIEW (4/7 - 4/13)
What does it take to upstage Lorena Ochoa's absolute domination of women's golf? For this week at least, there is an answer...
PGA, European & Asian Tours: The Masters – Augusta, GA
In an era where any storyline carrying even the faintest hint of adversity is pumped into high drama by the media, Trevor Immelman wrote himself an epic suitable for Hollywood at the 72nd Masters, capturing his first Major championship only four months removed from having a benign tumor removed from his upper back. Though the victory surely came as a surprise to those peddling Tiger Woods Grand Slam narratives, the reality is that Immelman’s career path has pointed him squarely towards this level of success since his late teens – a progression broken only by his recent health problems and, perhaps, the decision to delay playing full-time in the United States until 2006. At Augusta, Immelman was never really off the lead, tying England’s Justin Rose for Thursday’s low round with a 68, then matching that number on Friday to top the field by one at the halfway mark. A splendid birdie at the 18th gave him a Saturday 69 and a two-shot advantage on Brandt Snedeker going into Sunday, and then it was a matter of survival. On a day when swirling winds made playing conditions tough enough that virtually no contending player mounted a significant charge, Immelman made bogeys at the first, the eighth and the 12th, and birdies at the fifth and 13th. Pars at the 14th and 15th left him five clear of his nearest pursuer, which was fortunate; it made his double-bogey at the 16th more something to laugh at than to stress over. In the end, a pair of closing pars brought Immelman home at eight-under-par 280, three ahead of Tiger Woods (who missed numerous makeable putts during a closing 72) and four up on Stewart Cink and Snedeker. The victory jumps Immelman from 29th to 15th in the world ranking, but this figures to be only an intermediate step; he climbed as high as 12 late in 2006 and now, healthy and having broken through to the ranks of the elite, seems likely to find is way into the top 10 relatively soon.

LPGA Tour: Corona Championship – Morelia, Mexico
We are beyond repetitive now, well on our way to boring. Of course, with nearly all of the LPGA Tour’s other top stars taking the week off, Lorena Ochoa was a strong favorite to win the Corona Championship in her native Mexico – but there’s winning, and then there’s winning. Ochoa sailed through the first 54 holes with three straight 66s on the par-73 Tres Marias golf Club layout, before closing with a matter-of-fact 69, her 25-under-par total of 267 leaving 2nd-place finisher Song-Hee Kim a fat 11 shots (!) in arrears. The victory is Ochoa’s third straight and her fourth in five 2008 starts. Perhaps even more impressively, it is her second 11-shot victory of the season (the first coming over an elite field in Singapore), giving her the rather astonishing average margin of 8.5 strokes per win. With all due respect to Annika Sorenstam, her goal of returning to number one seems to have gone the way of the buffalo. Much like Tiger Woods, Ochoa is building a large enough lead in the Rolex Ranking to make the prospect of anyone overtaking her a distant proposition at best.
