It's pretty cool when you have several ladies battling it out for the top spot. How many times has the top spot changed since Lorena's last tournament? Four I think?

Yoroshiku, Ai-chan! Glad to see her win and get back to #1, but with how competitive the LPGA this year I have a feeling she wont stay there long.

She's a solid player!! Maybe I can start to like knee-high socks afterall

TO me she is the coolest person on the LPGA and I love her game. People thought the LPGA may faulter when Lorena took her first retirement, but to me the LPGA has actually been more interesting than some of the PGA events. It will be interesting to see who could be number one next week.
