RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP)- Lorena Ochoa, the Mexican star who once struggled in the majors, now is making them look easy.

Ochoa continued her dominance of women’s golf Sunday with a five-shot victory in the Kraft Nabisco Championship, giving her the last two majors by a combined nine shots. She was the only player without a bogey in the final round on a tough Mission Hills course, closing with a 5-under 67 and taking the greatest swim of her life.

She won by five shots over Suzann Pettersen and Annika Sorenstam, among many major champions being left behind in the massive wake of Ochoa, who has won three out of four tournaments this year by a combined 23 shots.

Ochoa, who finished at 11-under 277, never trailed under the blazing desert sun, and was threatened only briefly. But she fired off three straight birdies around the turn to build a five-shot lead, and kept it simple with pars the rest of the way.

This was the 20th anniversary of when Amy Alcott began the Nabisco tradition of the winner jumping into the lake surrounding the 18th green, but there has rarely been such a festive moment.

A mariachi band serenaded Ochoa with “Canta y no llores,” which translates to “Sing and don’t cry.” Ochoa grabbed hands with her parents and sister-in-law, sprinted toward the water and jumped with both arms in the air. Her brother, Alejandro, coach Rafael Alcaron and caddie Dave Brooker leapt from the bridge. Before long, there were two dozen friends and family in the water, bobbing to the rhythm of the mariachi band and celebrating another major championship.

Ochoa became the first player since Sorenstam in 2005 to win consecutive majors, and with as much dominance as Tiger Woods enjoys on the PGA Tour, she also has raised possibilities of winning all four majors.

Sorenstam, who battled a stomach virus on the weekend, tried to give Ochoa a run but could never get closer than three shots. She closed with a 68 and tied for second with Pettersen, who also had a 68.

Houston Open

HUMBLE, Texas (AP) – Johnson Wagner’s first PGA Tour victory came with the ultimate bonus prize – a trip to the Masters.

Wagner controlled his nerves and held off several late challenges to win the Houston Open and earn a last-minute invitation to Augusta National.

The 28-year-old Wagner shot a 1-under 71 to finish at 16 under, two shots ahead of Chad Campbell (72) and Geoff Ogilvy (68). Billy Mayfair and Fred Couples shot 66s and finished three shots back at 13 under. Bob Estes and Charley Hoffman, three behind Wagner at the start of the round, shot 72s and finished four behind.

Wagner had missed six cuts in nine previous starts this year and was ranked 193rd on the money list when he arrived in Houston. He matched defending champion Adam Scott’s course-record 63 in the first round, then held the 36- and 54-hole leads at an event for the first time in 44 career starts.

Cap Cana Championship

PUNTA CANA, Dominican Republic (AP) – Mark Wiebe completed a wire-to-wire victory in the inaugural Cap Cana Championship, closing with a 5-under 67 for a four-stroke victory over Vicente Fernandez.

Fernandez, who turned 62 on Saturday,finished with a 65, matching the course record set Saturday by Joe Ozaki. Jay Haas (68) and Craig Stadler (67) tied for third at 9 under, and Denis Watson (66), Fulton Allem (68), Nick Price (67) and Scott Hoch (70) followed at 8 under.

Estoril Open

CASCAIS, Portugal (AP) – France’s Gregory Bourdy won the Estorial Open for his second European tour victory, beating England’s David Howell with a par on the third extra hole.

Bourdy closed with a 1-under 70 to match Howell (64) and Scotland’s Alastair Forsyth (66) at 18-under 266 on the Oitavos Dunes course.

All three parred the first extra hole, No. 18. They then played 18 again, with Forsyth dropping out with a bogey. Bourdy won on No. 17.
