LPGA Player of the Year

2006, 2007

After topping the money list on the 2002 Futures Tour, with three tournament wins, she turned professional and joined the LPGA Tour the following year. In her rookie season, she had eight top-ten finishes and was twice runner-up, and in 2004 she became the first Mexican to win on the LPGA Tour. She also finished in the top ten in three of the four major championships. After a quiet 2005, she topped the money list in both 2006 and 2007, and was named LPGA Player of the Year in each of those years.

Her first round score of 62 in the 2006 Kraft Nabisco Championship tied the record for the lowest round by a golfer – male or female – in a major tournament.
