Lorena Ochoa just won the Corona Morelia Championship in Mexico, the first LPGA victory in her home country. Ochoa won with a score of -20, which was five strokes better than runner up finisher Julieta Granada. Paula Creamer finished third.

If you’ve ever had the chance to watch Lorena play, you will immediately notice what’s special about her. The young 24-year-old woman is magical with her putter. She sinks just about everything in sight. Last year, Lorena ranked first in putting, with an amazing 1.75 putts per GIR. This year, she’s tied for 6th, with a 1.76 putts per GIR. Oh, by the way, Lorena is first in birdies, first in eagles, and first in greens in regulation.

I can’t find any official stats on Michelle Wie. But I have to guess her putting stats are a little bit higher than Lorena’s. If magical putting touch is something more innate than learned, Lorena Ochoa may be the heir apparent to Annika Sorenstam.
