The Stanford International Pro-Am features two rookies among its
leaders. Both Momoko Ueda from Japan and Yani Tseng from Taiwan shot
opening round 68s, one stroke off first round leader Young Kim. They
weren’t the only rookies to shoot under 70 yesterday. Carolina Llano
and Hee Young Park shot rounds of 69.
The 2008 Rookie Class is already impacting the LPGA tour. Tseng and
Momoko are just two of the high profile players emerging from this

leads Yani Tseng by 37 points in the Rolex Rookie of the Year
standings. Louise Friberg, another rookie, won last month’s Mastercard
Classic.
