Lorena Ochoa has the chance to become the first back-to-back winner at the British Open in more than ten years when she tees it off this weekend at Sunningdale. Ochoa shot a 5-under to win the Open Championship last year when it was held at St. Andrew's. The 26-year-old defeated Jee Young Kim to win her first of two majors. In the three other tournament finishes at the Open, Ochoa has two top five finishes and one cut.
We'll see if the #1 female golfer in the world has what it takes to defeat the rest of the pack on her way to a third straight major.
Annika Sorenstam has a chance to close out the final major of her career with a win. Sorenstam previously won the Open in 2003, her only Open title. Sorenstam also has the opportunity to win her 10th career major.
Se Ri Pak was the last golfer to win the Open when it was in Sunningdale. She won the title in 2001. Pak could win it once more here in Sunningdale.
