I can't believe you guys don't have Lori Merriman on your* list of womens rookie of the year.

Has had a great year so far. Almost beat Val and Elaine at the PFDO

http://www.pdga.com/tournament-results?TournID=9776&year=2010&include_ratings=1#Open%20Women


Just won 2 more events in the last 2 weeks with a 950+ rated round
http://www.pdga.com/tournament-results?TournID=10806&year=2010&include_ratings=1#Open
Only lost by 1 to the advanced men field.

And she probably drives farther than most of the advanced men and can putt better than most players out there.

Not to mention that she has 2 ACES this year as well.

Keep your eye out, she is determined to win Pro Worlds, and I'm pretty sure she has the game to do so.

And she is the PA state womens champ and has a paid entry spot to the USWDGC.

Hope she plays well at USWDGC.

She's on the list but down a ways. Only the top candidates are shown. At this point she does not have a Major/NT/ET event in her record for this year. If she does play well at the USWDGC, she could bounce up the chart.

She played the Vibram. And is playing USWDGC.

All I know is that she is getting good quickly and practices every day. Keep an eye out for her in the next year. The girl is good!

I have been fortunate enough to watch her game improve in the last 3 years. It''s been fun to watch. Her drives, putts and mental game all keep improving every month. And she is determined to be a World Champion. 350+foot drives, a killer putt from within 50 feet and determination. She just needs to get her upshots dialed in and she is gonna be tough to beat.

She also beat Becky Terril both times they played this year as well as beating Indigo the only time they played this year.

Still no Lori Merriman on the updated list? What is up with that? She has played 2 majors. Has a higher rating than all of the other girls on the list with the exception of Paige. And she has won quite a bit of money this year. Doesn't make any sense to me.

Seems like a messed up system to me if she isn't in the top 5?

Chrissy...Whats Dave Feldberg have to do with Lori being in the top 5 for rookie of the year???

Fixed. Unfortunately, there's no automatic way to know a player qualifies for ROY in a given year other than manually looking thru some stats. So, we rely on others including the candidates themselves to let us know if we missed someone. Thanks.

Not sure how that happened Kurt??? Thanks Chuck.

Paul Dorries has a serious chance at Rookie of the Year....if he finishes strong he should get it no question.

Actually it appears young Oscar Stenfelt from Sweden is pretty much a lock for Male ROY ... nice to see for the first time a POTY or ROY award looking like its heading to Europe...

BDH:)

I believe Paul finished better at USDGC and Worlds. Plus his season is not over yet. Nothing is a lock yet my friend.

i don't think oscar played either of those.

nobody even talking about terry gallops? he's cashed in or won more tournaments this year than both oscar and paul together.

any idea when the rookies of the year will be announced?

Preliminary stats based only on ratings posted by end of the week. Final results with the additional calculations will be later in Feb.

Preliminary finalist lists are now posted in the PDGA Home page story. Players have until next Monday to send in possible event corrections if discovered.
