Mexico’s Lorena Ochoa is among the most recognizable athletes in Latin America today. But Ochoa isn’t the only Latina golfer to overcome long odds and achieve hero status in her native country. In 2006, Paraguay’s Julieta Granada set an LPGA Tour record for rookie earnings with $1,633,586 — more than half of which she won at the season-ending ADT Championship. Two months later, in January 2007, Granada led Paraguay to a seven-stroke victory over the U.S. in the Women’s World Cup in South Africa. While the 21-year-old suffered a minor sophomore slump in ’07, posting three top-10 finishes but no wins through October, she hopes to cash in again in 2008.”*
