MasterCard Classic Final-Round Video

For those jonesing for some LPGA action this week, feel free to check out the following clips from ESPN Deportes.

First, a quick recap of Nicole Perrot's round (when they interviewed her, I thought, "Damn, listen to that French chick roll in Spanish!" but it turns out she's Chilean); then Ochoa almost hitting the 18th in two but unable convert her long eagle putt from the fringe or her 10-foot downhill sliding birdie opportunity; plus the beginning of the end of Louise Friberg's round:



Reactions to Ochoa's non-win from the fans, including some cute little girls; recap of Ochoa's 68 (nice medium-length putts for birdie on 1 and to s[t]eal a sand save on 3; decent wedge and longish birdie putt on 6; blowing an eagle put 5 feet by on 9 but apparently making the comebacker; a long birdie putt on 15; sticking the approach on 17 and missing the 7-foot birdie chance, just like Hee Young Park):



Pretty good overview of the leaders' rounds--lots of Oh and Tseng, including missed birdies on 17 by both, with some Dahllof, McGill, and Friberg (including a slightly-less-shaky approach shot on 18 than the one on 17 they showed earlier) mixed in:



Tseng, Oh, and Dahllof's approach shots and putts on the 18th. Tseng's 15-footer was dead center until it lost speed in the last 3 inches and broke outside the hole--she just slightly babied it. Oh had a painful 3-putt that summed up her final-round frustrations:



Nice interview with the super-kawaii champion:
