It takes two to compete and in most cases when the competition is for an award like the Rolex Player of the Year, the two are the best in the field that the award is for. The Rolex Player of the Year is an award that follows a formula wherein points are awarded for those who finish in the top 10 and then their scores are doubled at the LPGA’s four major championships and at the Tour Championship that ends the season. The points are accumulated over the 10 finishes and then the winner who has the maximum points backing her game is awarded the Rolex Player of the Year award.

This year’s competition has generated a lot of interest and things have heated up quite a bit because the players competing include the last year’s winner Lorena Ochoa and Jiyai Shin who has brought a glorious win at some major tournaments played this year on board.

Lorena Ochoa is basking in the glory of her recent win at the Navistar LPGA Classic, and is striving for her fourth Rolex Player of the Year award. She has years of excellent playing and a wholesome Golf playing experience behind her and her determination to grab the winning baton despite all odds is legendary by now. Lorena Ochoa has never compromised on the performance that she puts out for the game, routinely examining the nuances of the game, building her skills in the game and constantly stretching the limits of the game to formulate winning strategies.

Jiyai Shin brings an equally impressive track record with her. According to some watchers of the game, the player has a strong chance of winning this year’s award and is defending her lead status with aplomb. Jiyai Shin has broken all records at the LPGA of Korea Tour (KLPGA) and has won 10 events in 19 starts in 2007. The next year playing only 10 tournaments, the golfer went on to win three events which also include the Women’s British Open and the ADT Championship. Winning her membership in the LPGA and starting the season on a slow note where she missed her first cut at the season opening SBS Open, the golfer went on to take care of the situation. She promptly won the third event of the season, the HSBC Women’s Champions and also bagged the winning slots in the Wegmans LPGA tournament and P&G Beauty NW Arkansas Championship.

The Rolex Player of the Year award slot is still open for other players to pick the cue and challenge these players in the game. Rolex has always associated itself with achievements that speak of a commitment to excellence and a passion to only deliver what is the best. Rolex watches have been especially crafted to make them most suited to conditions in which other watches might stop functioning. The idea behind a Rolex watch germinates and then the process is to take this up with designers who streamline the watch keeping a certain theme in mind. A Rolex watch is designed around its functionality and not around what it can do in terms of artistic concerns. Rolex watches are aesthetically beautiful, made to cater to people who value the worth of their money and so like their watches to reflect the pride that they take in their wealth and position in life.

Jiyai Shin leads with 136 points in her kitty and with Sunday’s win Lorena Ochoa has jumped to a very close second in the list. May the best player deservedly win this award.

Time imposes its weight on those who have not acquired the talent to streamline it and suit their ways and more often than not the weight of time bears so heavily on some that they are bogged down by the demands it can make on their life. The Rolex house of watches stems from the belief that if they are in the business of manufacturing beholders of time their first priority is to understand that time is only conducive for those who have developed a skill to appreciate and respect it.

The other specialty of the watch is the fact that it has a Cyclops magnifying lens that allows the watch wearer to view the time with better precision. The date calendar of the Rolex Lady Datejust and the Cyclops Magnifier combine to form a pact that makes the watch unparalleled in the field of watches.

The Cinderella story had its quintessential fairy godmother granting the damsel in distress a chance of a lifetime that could take her existence away from cinders and into the prince’s arms but the element that added the tense edge to the story was the factor of time and the role it played in Cinderella’s life. Had the clock not struck twelve and had Cinderella not left the party in a hurry leaving her slipper behind the world would perhaps had been shaped differently. The Cinderella story is so inspiring because it is a tale of possibilities, of how life does not treat one in the same way on two successive days. Rolex too tries to bring in this novelty factor in the way it manufactures its watches for its clientele that maybe exclusive but is ever growing. Rolex knows that time is ever changing and hence it always tries to build itself to a level of excellence reaching which is easy but maintaining that position is something that only Rolex with its expertise and its penchant for innovation can live up to. Sarah Chalke has had a life that may not have been as distressing as Cinderella’s but where the Cinderella element comes into her life is in the way Sarah has always held hope for life, she is an eternal optimist and believes that a good life is one that is spent loving yourself and knowing that life always has something good in store for you despite the momentary darkness that it may have delved you in.
