Women's Tour:Lorena Ochoa immediately set her sights on improving her game after ending a second successive LPGA season on Sunday as the dominant player in women's golf.

The Mexican world number one clinched her eighth title of the year and the winner's prize of $1 million with a two-shot victory at the ADT Championship, firing a four-under-par 68 at Trump International Golf Club.

"There is always room to improve," Ochoa said after holding off American playing partner Natalie Gulbis with a birdie on the final hole.

"I want to get much better in my short game, especially from 110 yards and in. I hit them okay, maybe to 10 feet, but I need to improve on my short distances.

"When I putt well, I win tournaments. I want to make sure I putt well more often." Ochoa, who clinched LPGA player of the year honours for the second season in a row with a four-shot victory at last month's Samsung World Championship, also wants to improve her swing.

"I think I improved a lot from last year to this year but I still go over my head a little bit," the 26-year-old said. "My hands come a little from behind, so I want to make sure I shorten my swing, come from in front of the ball and have more room."

Ochoa, who dethroned Swede Annika Sorenstam as world number one in April, ended her 2007 campaign with record earnings of $4,364,994 after becoming the first player to break the $3 million barrier.

Her eight victories included a maiden major title at the Women's British Open in August and she racked up 13 other top-10 finishes in 25 starts.
