Lorena Ochoa Invitational Live

Thirty-six of the world’s top lady professional golfers will do battle for the LPGA Lorena Ochoa Invitational at the Guadalajara Country Club in Guadalajara, Mexico from the 12^th to the 15^th November 2009, and you can catch all the action live by joining us here at watchlivegolf.com – the only place to be to watch live golf tournaments from across the world.

The Lorena Ochoa Invitational event, which is sponsored by Corona Light and Banamex has only taken place once before and that was last year at the same course and just about the same time of year. That first event was won by American Angela Stanford who carded a score of 275, 13 under par, winning $200,000 of the approximately $1M purse that was on offer.

The tournament is open to golfers on the LPGA tour and is hosted, as the name implies, by Lorena Ochoa, the Mexican golfer who is currently ranked number one on the LPGA tour. The event, which is hoped to become an annual affair, has its proceeds directed to the Lorena Ochoa foundation and it is interesting to point out that the Guadalajara Country Club is Lorena’s home course and where she learnt to play.

As mentioned above, the field is limited to just thirty-six players. The top five players in the world rankings are invited, along with the top twenty-six in the LPGA money rankings. An additional five golfers are invited via the sponsors.

The Guadalajara Country Club course is 6644 yards long, and the ladies will battle it out over 72 holes and four rounds. As this will only be the second time this event has been played, course records are rather irrelevant at the moment.
