Lorena Ochoa, who left UA after her sophomore season, tied for second Sunday in her first professional tournament.

Ochoa, who set an NCAA record with eight victories this season, shot a 1-under 71 to finish a stroke behind winner Melinda Price in the Futures Tourās Aurora Health Care Charity Golf Classic on the 6,022-yard, par-72 Ironwood Golf Course.

Price finished with a 71 for a 2-over 218 total. Ochoa, who earned $5,250, matched South Koreaās Soo Young Kim (73) at 1-over.

Ochoa also won the Mexican Open this season and has two top-10 finishes in three LPGA Tour starts this year. She tied for second last week in the NCAA tournament in her last amateur appearance.

Ochoa birdied No. 17, and just missed holing a 90-yard shot for eagle on No. 18 en route to another birdie.

ćThe key to winning this weekend was to play consistent,ä Ochoa said. ćThe course was difficult and I think the wind affected us all. I really wanted to win, but placing in the top three in my first event is more than I could have asked for.ä
