Unstoppable as ever, Lorena Ochoa collects another major

``They are good people that work really hard,'' she said of the 30-minute visit. ``I always joke a little bit about soccer because they don't like my team. We always get a good laugh. I helped them make scrambled eggs.''

The best player in women's golf does double duty as a short-order chef?

``Well, they were making scrambled eggs, and they wanted me to help with it,'' she said. ``It was easy.''

Everything seems that way now. Ochoa is about 10 yards longer than she was last year, when she became the first $4 million woman in golf and won seven times to sweep the major awards for the second straight season.

The margin of victory is what makes everyone nervous.

``Even when I was on a roll, I don't think I ever dominated like this,'' said Karrie Webb, who won five out of eight majors from 1999 through 2001. ``People don't understand how hard it is to stay on top of your game like that. I did it for a few years. Annika did it for five. Tiger has done it for 12.''

Sorenstam, who battled a stomach virus on the weekend, tried to give Ochoa a run but could never get closer than three shots. Even at full strength, it's doubtful she could have had enough to stop Ochoa.

``I could be wrong, but I think the goal for her is just to take one tournament at a time and try to win each one of them,'' Sorenstam said. ``And it turns out to be the last two majors. I'm sure it won't be the last, either.''
