MEXICO CITY (AP) — Former top-ranked golfer Lorena Ochoa radiates happiness as she moves around the clubhouse at Las Lomas, a private golf club in an upscale part of Mexico City.

She is six months pregnant and expecting a baby boy — who will be named Pedro — in early December. She seems content spending more time at home after retiring 17 months ago while at the top of the sport.

Her departure left something of a power vacuum on the LPGA Tour, but life is going smoothly for the 29-year-old Ochoa. She says she has no intention of making a comeback.

Ochoa tells The Associated Press on Friday she’s “not going to return full time, this is a fact.”
