Name: Paula Marti Zambrano
Age: 27
Born: Barcelona, Spain
Height: 5′8″
The LPGA has been missing the leggy, midriff-baring, belly-pierced Marti since she gave birth to her first son almost two years ago, though she is playing in Europe. She won in just her fifth pro start. She had two victories in her rookie season, winning the Ladies Italian Open and Ladies British Masters.
In 2002 Marti won the Australian LPGA Tournament of Champions, came second at the British Women’s Open and topped the money list on the Ladies European Tour. She was a member of the 2002 European Solheim Cup Team and was awarded the Spanish Royal Order of Merit for Sports in the bronze category.
At the end of 2002 she tied for 31st at the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament to earn non-exempt status for the 2003 LPGA season. During 2003-2005 her best LPGA Tour finish was a tie for sixth at the Franklin American Mortgage Championship. She teamed with Ana Belen Sanchez to represent Spain at the inaugural Women’s World Cup of Golf in 2005 and teamed with Marta Prieto in the 2006 Women’s World Cup of Golf. She did not play on the LPGA in 2006 due to the birth to her first child, son Izan Corretja.
