Ain’t no mountain high enough for little Lorena of Guadalajara – Lorena Ochoa will make the major breakthrough to greatness if she wins the British Open next Sunday, says David Davies

“Lorena Ochoa, the diminutive Mexican, is the best woman golfer in the world – allegedly. She is ranked number one and, by common consent of her peers, is number one. But there remains a still, small voice of nagging doubt, for Ochoa has reached the top without having won a major championship.

In the Womens British Open, which starts on Thursday at St Andrews, the 25-year-old has a chance, her last of the year, to put this right. It will be her twenty-fourth attempt on one of the big four championships and no one could be more determined. Asked if she was worried about her failure, she said: No. I think my family and the media worry more than me. I really believed that 2007 was going to be my year to win a major, and I have one more chance.”
