World No.1 player Lorena Ochoa criticizes LPGA "English proficiency" test as "a little drastic"
Lorena Ochoa, a native of Mexico, wouldn’t say whether she thought the LPGA’s new rule requiring foreign born players to take an English proficiency test was discriminatory. But she did think was a little drastic. “That [discrimination] is a a very strong word. I wouldn’t want to use it. But I do think it is a little drastic.”
Ochoa defended the Korean players and their own efforts to learn English, even before the rule. More
Though her English isn’t perfect, Lorena Ochoa has spoken with great eloquence on this topic. Too bad the LPGA didn’t consult the World No. 1 player before adopting its poorly thought, if not discriminatory, rule.
