A year ago, several enthusiastic men and women golfers gathered to host a pro-am in Monterrey, Mexico.

The goal was to raise funds to benefit the Mexican players competing on the 2009 Duramed FUTURES Tour. The event was a success and the organizers decided that this effort should be repeated.

So this year, 23 pros — again men and women — played in a pro-am on one of the most exclusive golf courses in Mexico, called The Churubusco, which is the third-oldest course in the nation. But this time, there was a huge difference compared to the 2009 tournament. This time, the top-ranked woman player in the world, Lorena Ochoa, played as a pro in the event.
