About Lorena Ochoa

Lorena Ochoa Reyes is the best Mexican athlete of all time and was the number one female golfer in the world for 157 weeks in a row. She was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco on November 15, 1981. Her family shares her passion for sports; that is why, the place where she grew up is only a few steps away from Guadalajara Country Club, her second home and permanent host of Lorena Ochoa Invitational presented by Banamex.

Lorena started playing when she was five years old and her career advanced very fast. At six, she won her first state championship; at seven, a national one; at eight, she ranked number one in the World Junior Golf Championship, and at thirteen, she was the only player in the world to win for five consecutive years the Junior World International Championship and the World Junior Golf Championship; a record that Lorena still holds.

In 2000, she studied Sports Psychology at the University of Arizona in the United States, where she joined the golf team and started her career on the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at a time when there was only one other Mexican in the collegiate ranks. Lorena won seven tournaments in a row, setting a new record. While in school she won 12 collegiate tournaments.

Lorena started her professional career in 2002 on the Futures Tour, where she won three tournaments and ranked first place on the money list; this granted her a place in the LPGA. Five years later, in 2007, at only 25 years of age, Lorena ranked number one in the world.
