being right there where she live, that was a obvious yes. she's still young yet, i think in a couple of years, you'll see her take off and start winning.

It is very normal that they offered her an exemption, and very normal that she accepted.
She has played pretty well there in her 3 attempts, and hopefully she will play well in the 07 Sony event.

Despite having great college winning experience, it took Lorena quite a few mess ups to get to where she is.

It's her "hometown" event...I can't blame Sony for asking her and I can't blame her for accepting. Hopefully she can make good on this one.

I consider myself a pretty accomplished golfer and I am no where near her....You still have to remember...."where were you when you were 16?" I was playing in little junior golf tournaments and playing High School Tournaments.....I say...keep on teeing it up wherever you want!

Sure why not. She started #2 in the world and now is #10. She has not won anything yet so why not try the PGA Tour again?

She already answered your question, it's because...
"This is the time of year you don't play that great, your best, and
all of a sudden you play good."
So there.
Na-na-nana-na.

It's probably easier to think of her as a decent local rock band that opens for a huge rock band. You know, to warm up the crowds. For the weekend.

The Sony Open is her home event, it is a non issue. Save the arguing for when she gets a John Deere invite.

Why would the guy who won it care if she got an invite?

Why would she want to be a short Mexican woman adored by her family and country?
