We're used to seeing her in a bright Lacoste polo and lean Bermuda-length golf shorts, and even in such athletic attire she always seems to have an air of enigmatic elegance. Her warmth, generosity and sheer talent seem to shine through, whether she's pondering an implausible putt...that she often goes on to make... or chatting with the fans, who inevitably line the course when she plays.
Long time friend, and LPGA fashion plate, Christina Kim, probably put it best when she said that Lorena had "that inner light" and famously described her as "a cross between Tiger Woods and Mother Teresa."
It's rare however to see Lorena Ochoa in glamour mode. No bikini shots or high fashion runway looks for Miss World Number One. You almost get the impression she lives in her golf clothes 24/7.
That's part of why her photos in the October 22, issue of ¡Hola! are so stunning. Against earthy country backdrops in her hometown of Guadalajara, Lorena sits on a park bench in fuchsia evening gown. The dress is voluminous and over-the-top but the girl wearing it seems as light and content...almost a little playful. There's another striking shot where Lorena walk along a country road with a white horse. Again she wears an sumptuous gown, this one bejeweled black and silver and looks a the sweet, witty heroine in a romance novel...though I don't think I'll ever be able to imagine Lorena Ochoa depending on a male protagonist to save her.
In the accompanying interview Lorena talks about her love for her family and friends, her passion for golf and her hopes of winning many more tournaments and making it into the Hall of Fame. She also spoke of her desire continue helping others with her foundation. And there, under the opulent ball gowns, is the Lorena everyone loves.

Lorena looks great in those gowns. She could walk the red carpet with the best of them.
ReplyDeleteWhat really amazes me is that Lorena Ochoa is such a long hitter but has no bulk whatsoever in her arms. Which is one reason she looks better than some other women golfer in a gown.
ReplyDeleteLook at Annika's arms in comparison. Not so nice.
Wow. This is definitely a side of Lorena Ochoa we don't get to see very often. I don't think there'll be any bikini shots though. Not that I'd mind seeing them if there were.
ReplyDeleteLorena Ochoa is a great golfer but sexy she's not. Call me sexist but I don't care what she wears, she's just not the type of girl most guy go for.
ReplyDeleteI'll take Paula/Natalie/Cristie please.
OK Anon ...you're sexist. And it sounds like you have a thing for blondes. Anyway Lorena IS beautiful, in her gowns AND in her golf clothes.
ReplyDeleteLorena Ochoa isn't hot? Whether she is a brunette, blonde or dyed her hair blue she'd be hot! Are you kidding me! Visit our website www.ISUCKATGOLF.net for iron clad proof of this! She's also a great gal. The fact that she's also a great athelete makes her that much hotter!http://www.isuckatgolf.net/womenofgolfthree.html
ReplyDeleteSomebody check this guys pulse!
i wouldn't throw her out of my bed
ReplyDeleteanon 7:04 - you are, of course, entitled to your opinions, likes and dislikes - and she might not be what some modelling agency would look for - but she is DEFINITELY cute - those big brown eyes of hers and that smile...are you kidding ? :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't those look like Photoshopped pics? Lorena isn't into glam--she's into other women. Nothing wrong with that, of course. Another poster said "Lorena Ochoa is a great golfer but sexy she's not." Jennifer wrote, "Lorena IS beautiful, in her gowns AND in her golf clothes." Um, excuse me, Jennifer, but I don't think you've seen many Mexican women....I'll grant you, though, that Lorena has a nice arse.
ReplyDeleteOK, guys, let's prove to the women that we're not sexist. Who are some of the cute guys on the men's tour? How about Paddy Harrington? Those bowed legs are HOT. And I LOVE that high-pitched nasaly voice!! And what about Boo Weekly or Tim Herron? Yeah, daddy!! There's more cushion for the pushin on those boys!
ReplyDeleteBlimey! I nearly dropped my bacon sandwich when I saw those pics. Cracking golfer though.
