View Article  Lorena Ochoa Wins Ginn Open.

A great win for Lorena Ochoa at -19 beating Yani Tseng by three strokes and third were Suzann Petersen and Teresa Lu on -11.

The day started with a rain delay of about 40 minutes and this rain altered the greens a lot making them more receptive and a little slower.

This is Lorena's fourth win in a row and she joins four others who accomplished this. It also brings to an end her run of close finishes in this event where she has been second on a number of occasions.

Laura Davis (UK) finished tied 44th.

Well done Lorena.

You can get the full result by going to www.ginnopen.com. Remember Bahama Bay Resort for next year's event.

This morning, Sunday,  the morning of the final round we have had some rain as a weakening cold front goes through the area. I expect this will have freshened up the course and it could make the greens more receptive.

At present after four holes of the final round Lorena Ochoa is tied with Yani Tseng at -17 and Teresa Lu is third at -11. It looks as though these three will fight out the final round. Could it go to extra holes???

Laura Davis (UK) is tied 49th at even par. She has started out -1 starting from the eighteenth.

You can check out the leader board at www.ginnopen.com.

For next years tournament book your apartment at Bahama Bay Resort. If you can't wait wait that long book it now and enjoy the late spring and early summer weather.

Another great day with blue skies and the occasional cloud. Still a little wind about but it appears the course is playing well.

Yani Tseng is still leading at -13 after four holes in the third round. There is a four way tie for second between Lorena Ochoa, Teresa Lu, Suzann Petersen and Minea Blomqvist all of which are on -10 after four or five holes today.

Unfortunately it seems that Laura Davis (UK) has dropped away deep in to the following pack. This is a shame as she did so well last year for much of the tournament

Bahama Bay Resort is the place to stay for The Ginn Open. It is only a short drive away from the course and the place to relax after a hard day watching the golf.

The weather yesterday was great for golf and there appeared to be a good turnout of spectators also. The car parks were pretty full as I drove past down I.4.

Yani Tseng is currently leading the field at ten under par after carding a four under par round yesterday and following that up with a six under par score going through nine holes today. Lorena Ochoa is four under after yesterday and eight holes today and Laura Davis from the UK is yet to start her second round but is standing on two under so far.

Today is looking like another great day with plenty of sunshine with just a few clouds . There is a little breeze but at present it is pretty calm. There could be some good scores !! The rest of the weekend is looking pretty good also with just a small chance of a shower maybe on the final day.

Look out for further reports as The Ginn Open continues.

The LPGA Tour comes to Reunion again this year for The Ginn Open from 14th April to 20th April.

The course is about twenty minutes from Bahama Bay Resort so it is an ideal base from which to travel and to recover after a day on the course watching your favourite women golfers.

So as not to be disappointed I would suggest you make your reservation now at www.bahamabayvacationrentals.com.

As I did last year I shall be making reports here as to how the tournament is progressing together with the Leader Board.

One of the most frequently asked questions I receive is are there any golf courses at Bahama Bay Resort and if not are there any in the area and where are they?

Unfortunately Bahama Bay Resort does not have it's own golf course nor is it situated on a golf course. But the good news is it really does not matter as there are so many golf courses in the area and within an easy traveling distance.

Leaving Bahama Bay Resort by Florence Villa Grove Road to US27 where you take a right you only need to travel for about half a mile and you come to Polo Park where there are two courses. One is to the East of US27 and the other to the West and the two courses are Polo Park East and West. If you continue on US27 for another couple of hundred yards there is the exit to the 192. Take this exit and travel for about five minutes and on the left hand side of the road you will see Orange Lake Golf Course.

If you take a left on to US27 going south for about ten minutes you will come to Ronald Reagan Parkway on your left and if you take this and then Champions Gate Boulevard you will see the Champions Gate Course surrounding the Omni Hotel. A little further on from here are the courses at Reunion designed by Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus. One of these is the setting for the Ginn Tournament on the LPGA Tour. So you can pit your skills against an actual tournament course.

In just a few lines I have mentioned six courses and there are still those at Celebration and on the Disney World complex. I always think that if you come to this area for a week you can play a different course every day and still have many left for your return visit next year and probably the year after.

You will no doubt have realized by now that Bahama Bay Resort is the ideal center for your Golf Vacation. Not only are all the courses within easy reach but it is also great for post game relaxation. Where better to discuss the holes in one or the birdies made or lost than around one of the four swimming pools, at one of the bars or in the restaurant. Added to this is the fitness center for warm up or warm down and the Spa for massage. All in all a great center.

You can make your reservation on my website at www.bahamabayvacationrentals.com .

To aid you in the search for courses I have found a really cool site, Golf Links, with them all listed so just click the link.
