One WPRO professional will be looking for an early Christmas gift

Phoenix -- Free-Press-Release.com-- Nov 29, 2011 -- Big news in the rankings as Paola Longoria moves into the top spot over Rhonda Rajsich with her win at the Puget Sound Challenge in Olympia WA, Longoria has won more tournaments, - 16 - than any other player over the last four WPRO seasons. Rhonda is the reigning champion of the Christmas Classic, but Paola will look to continue her reign coming off back to back wins over Rhonda in their last 2 meetings of the 2011-2012 season.

In addition to the shifting of the number one position, several players are also adding to the excitement, highlighting their careers with big wins. Cristina Amaya out of Columbia leads a strong contingent of international players with her highest ranking yet at 6th. Samantha Salas out of Mexico is knocking on the door, looking to get off the 3rd ranking and for now Longoria and Rajsich will stand in her way. Mexico’s Suzy Acosta comes of a semi-final appearance in Olympia to grab the 8th ranking. And Canada’s Jen Saunders comes in at 9th. After a semi-final appearance in Olympia Kristen Bellows looks to move back into the top 5 after a year’s absence on tour. Not to be overlooked, though, is TJ Baumbaugh, the number 13th ranked player on tour, who will take a bit of a home court advantage in Crystal City, likely to unleash her hometown fans on opponents!
