11/10/2008 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - LPGA TOUR - LORENA OCHOA INVITATIONAL, Guadalajara Country Club, Guadalajara, Mexico - Normally, Lorena Ochoa's boisterous hometown fans have to travel to see her play in person. This week, she is coming to them.

The inaugural Lorena Ochoa Invitational will spotlight its host's immense popularity in her home country -- her home city, in fact -- while bringing some measure to her influence on golf in Mexico.

The past few years, as Ochoa has ascended to become the top player in women's golf, Mexican crowds have grown at LPGA Tour events around the country, particularly in the Southwest. The fans are unabashedly supportive of Ochoa -- waving flags, chanting, etc. for their favorite player.

And this week she will host the top women's players in the world at her home course, Guadalajara Country Club.

Annika Sorenstam, Paula Creamer, Cristie Kerr, Suzann Pettersen and others will join Ochoa and several special invitees, including the top Mexican player from the Futures Tour (Sophia Sheridan) and the Latin player with the best score from the LPGA Wegmans Rochester (Marisa Baena).

All four rounds will be broadcast on the Golf Channel for 2 1/2 hours beginning at 3:30 p.m. (et) each day.

It is the final event before the season-ending ADT Championship next week, where Ochoa is the defending champion.

THREE-TOUR CHALLENGE

WENDY'S THREE-TOUR CHALLENGE, Rio Secco Golf Club, Henderson, Nevada - The LPGA Tour -- behind Cristie Kerr, Morgan Pressel and Natalie Gulbis -- won the Wendy's Three-Tour Challenge for the fourth time last year.

It was the first time since 2004, when Kerr teamed with Juli Inkster and Grace Park, that the women came away victorious at this non-official event.

This year, Kerr and Gulbis will be joined by first-timer Helen Alfredsson at Rio Secco Golf Club. They will face Stewart Cink, Rocco Mediate and Kenny Perry of the PGA Tour and Jay Haas, Fred Funk and Nick Price of the Champions Tour.

The PGA Tour -- normally favored -- has captured this event seven times, while the Champions Tour has garnered five Wendy's titles.

The one-day tournament, to be played Tuesday, will be broadcast on ABC. Last year it raised nearly $4 million for the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.
