Triumphant Ochoa targets calendar grand slam of majors

By Mark Lamport-Stokes

RANCHO MIRAGE, California (Reuters) - World number one Lorena Ochoa confidently set her sights on a sweep of this year's four majors after coasting to a five-shot victory at the Kraft Nabisco Championship on Sunday.

The Mexican clinched her 20th LPGA title with a commanding performance at Mission Hills Country Club, evoking comparisons with the equally dominant men's number one Tiger Woods.

Ochoa became the first woman to win back-to-back majors since Swede Annika Sorenstam at the 2005 McDonald's LPGA Championship, having clinched her maiden grand slam title at last year's Women's British Open.

Asked by reporters if she could win a calendar sweep this season, Ochoa replied matter-of-factly: "Yes."

The 26-year-old from Guadalajara was then asked who or what could prevent her from adding to her burgeoning tally of tournament victories.

"I'd like to believe nothing and nobody," she said.

"I know this is just the beginning of the year and I know I put up some high goals this year but I want to try to keep going and let the momentum flow.

"Right now I'm going to celebrate tonight but I'll be ready 100 percent on Monday to win in Morelia," she added, referring to next week's Corona Championship in Mexico.
