Ochoa confirms retirement

Women’s world number one Lorena Ochoa confirmed today she is to retire from the game after next week’s Tres Marias Championships in her native Mexico.

Making her plans official at a press conference in Mexico City on the third anniversary of her ascent to the number one position on the Rolex Rankings, the 28-year-old from Guadalajara said it was the right moment to walk away from professional golf after eight years on the LPGA Tour.
