MEXICO CITY (AP) — Lore-
na Ochoa will be playing
in her LPGA Tour event in
Mexico, but only for an ex-
hibition.
Ochoa had said Sunday at
the Mexico Championship
that she would be playing
the Lorena Ochoa Match
Play on May 4-7, and that it
would be her first time play-
ing her tournament since
2012. Instead, she will be
playing in Hall of Fame ex-
hibitions during the week-
end of the tournament.
Her brother, Alejandro
Ochoa, said she did not
want to be specific about
her participation when
speaking to a small group
of reporters at Chapulte-
pec Golf Club because
the LPGA Tour had not
publicized the Hall of Fame
matches and his sister did
not want to speak ahead
of any announcement.
The LPGA Tour is expected
to reveal details of the ex-
hibition this week.
Ochoa said she has been
practicing a few days a
week and said she would
practice every day in
advance of her appear-
ance at the Lorena Ochoa
Match Play.
