What genius at the LPGA decided that a rookie who wins the ADT
Championship should be rewarded with ZERO Rolex Rookie of the Year Points?

What a great story Julieta brings with her from Paraguay where there are only three golf courses in the entire country.

A very nice young lady who put together four great rounds to beat the best female golfers on the LPGA Tour. This should give her a real boost of confidence for 2007.
