Palm Beach, Fla.—The world's top-ranked female golfer, Lorena Ochoa, was honored with the 2007 "Rolex Player of the Year" award at this year's edition of an annual ceremony that has become one of the most distinguished nights in women's golf.

At the Nov. 16 event, which was held at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., Ochoa was also awarded the 2007 Vare Trophy for achieving the LPGA's lowest stroke average (69.6) during the year.

Ochoa won eight tournaments during 2007, including wins at the Ricoh British Women's Open held on The Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland, as well as a season-ending win at the ADT Championship in West Palm Beach, Fla.

Also celebrating at the event was junior golf star Angela Park, winner of the 2007 "Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year" award.

Rolex, whose relationship with the LPGA dates back to 1983, sponsors both Ochoa and Annika Sorenstam, an eight-time Rolex Player of the Year.
