Ochoa begins 4th week with new caddie.
Lorena Ochoa has been with caddie Greg Johnson for three tournaments and she’s enjoying the change. Ochoa said, “With Greg, he gets me a bit more…my thoughts and he is able to help me a bit more. I think it's somebody that is going to help me in a positive way, and that's what I'm looking for out there. We've only played together three tournaments; this will be the fourth. It's been good so far. I'm happy and I think we are both still learning from each other, but I think it's going to be something good.”

Miyazato said “My family probably be very happy for me. They cried in excitement. On my Web site, I had over 2000 comments, so I can tell from that that everyone was happy.”
