DAILY NOTES - May 2, 2008
First off, my apologies for the two-day absence. Suffice to say that Microsoft's "Last Known Good Configuration" isn't flawless, and it was an adventure thereafter...
Before my unplanned vacation, one of our more astute readers noted that in fact, Lorena Ochoa will not be trying to set a consecutive wins streak this weekend but rather attempting to tie the record of victories in five straight starts set by Nancy Lopez (1978) and Annika Sorenstam (2004-05). Part of this mistake was 100% my own fault; I am just old enough to remember Lopez's sensational rookie season, and have little trouble recalling (or so I thought) her remarkable five-win streak. Another part, however, was the result of dashing over some misinformation that was floating around the web following Ochoa's victory at the Ginn Open two weeks ago. Probably (note italics) I would have caught that under normal circumstances, but at present two book projects are coming to completion almost simultaneously, leaving this website - at least temporarily - in the position of being squeezed in around the edges.
In any event, here, for the record, are the various relevant LPGA winning streak leaders:
VICTORIES IN FIVE STRAIGHT LPGA STARTS
NANCY LOPEZ - 1978 (5/14 - 6/18):
5/14 - Greater Baltimore Golf Classic (MD) (beat D. Caponi by 3)
5/21 - Coca-Cola Classic (NJ) (beat J. Carner in a playoff)
5/29 - Golden Lights Championship (NY) (beat J. Carner by 3)
6/11 - LPGA Championship (OH) (beat A. Alcott by 6)
6/18 - Bankers Trust Classic (NY) (beat J. Blalock, D. Massey & A. Reinhardt by 2)
Note: DNP at the Peter Jackson Classic, the week of 6/4.
ANNIKA SORENSTAM - 2004-05 (11/7 - 3/27):
11/7 - Mizuno Classic (Japan) (beat A. Miyazato, M. Ohba & G. Park by 9)
11/21- ADT Tour Championship (FL) (beat C. Kerr in a playoff)
2/26 - MasterCard Classic (Mexico) (beat K. Webb by 3)
3/20 - Safeway International (AZ) (beat L. Ochoa in a playoff)

Note: DNP at the LPGA T of C (11/14) & SBS Open at Turtle Bay (2/13)
VICTORIES IN FOUR STRAIGHT LPGA STARTS

5/26 - Dallas Civitan Open (TX) (beat S. Haynie by 5)
6/2 - Babe Zaharias Open (TX) (beat C.A. Creed by 5)
KATHY WHITWORTH - 1969 (3/16 - 4/20):
3/16 - Orange Blossom Open (FL) (beat S. Englehorn & M. Hagge by 1)
3/23 - Port Charlotte Invitational (FL) (beat S. Haynie & S. Post by 1)
3/30 - Port Malabar Invitational (FL) (beat M. Wright by 4)
4/20 - Lady Carling Open (GA) (beat M. Wright in a playoff)
LORENA OCHOA - 2008 (3/30 - 4/20):
3/30 - Safeway International (AZ) (beat J.Y. Lee by 7)
4/6 - Kraft Nabisco Championship (CA) (beat S. Pettersen & A. Sorenstam by 5)
4/13 - Corona Championship (Mexico) (beat S.H. Kim by 11)
4/20 - Ginn Open (FL) (beat Y. Tseng by 3)
As a worthwhile note for anyone doubting Mickey Wright's status as the greatest woman golfer ever, in addition to the above-listed four-win streaks, Wright also claimed three consecutive wins on six (!) additional occasions, in the years 1960, 1961, 1963, 1964 (twice) and 1966.
