Lorena Ochoa has done it again, winning her fourth straight LPGA title at the Ginn Open in Reunion, Fla., on Sunday, her fifth triumph in six starts since she blew out of the 2008 gates to take the HSBC Champions in Singapore by 11 strokes. It's moments such as these that make me feel like a complete idiot. You see, after Ochoa earned that first win of the year in early March, Golf For Women editor-in-chief Susan Reed asked me what I'd think about running a chart in our May/June issue (on newsstands now) comparing Ochoa's dominance to that of Tiger Woods, and I said "no way." I argued that while Ochoa had definitely dominated the LPGA Tour in the past year, and had started the new season in impressive form, her accomplishments were nowhere near Woods' (I think I said it would be like comparing Ellen Page to Meryl Streep) and there was no way she'd be able to keep those kinds of margins to her fellow-competitors for very long.

Now I really wish I'd been asked that question a month and a half later. Because what Ochoa has accomplished in the last few weeks in nothing short of supernatural, and she shows no signs of stopping (to add insult to injury, she doesn't just squeak by; she continues to trounce the competition in full-on romps week in and week out). Since Woods is on the bench recovering from knee surgery, and failed to pull off the record-setting streaks he seemed poised for before that, Ochoa is THE story in golf -- and, some might argue, in sports -- right now. If she wins again next week at the SemGroup Championship in Tulsa (she's skipping the Stanford International in Aventura, Fla., this week, I'm sure to the relief of her LPGA Tour colleagues), she'll tie the record for most LPGA Tour wins in a row (currently shared by Nancy Lopez and Annika Sorenstam) at five, and she'll be almost halfway to Mickey Wright's legendary record of 13 LPGA Tour wins in one season (and she'd have two thirds of her season left; more than ample time to keep racking up the trophies). Also, while Tiger Woods' 2008 Grand Slam dreams were killed at the Masters, Ochoa's are alive and kicking since she easily took home the title at the 2008 Kraft Nabisco Championship. All these possibilities, which seemed like far-flung hyperbole two months ago, are now very real.

As always, when a young player starts to perform history-making feats such as those Ochoa has accomplished in the last year, people start to compare her to her predecessors. The debates are getting heated: Is Ochoa better than Sorenstam was during her heyday? Better than Wright, Lopez and Kathy Whitworth? And, of course, the most popular topic of all, is she the female Tiger Woods? Post a comment below and let me know what you think. I, for one, am certainly I'm rethinking my original position.
