Maria Jose Uribe - the next Ochoa?

[elsito99]

I have been really impressed with her performance at the US Open.

Playing as an amateur and in the top 10. Also played with Lorena and beat her in the round. Remember she classified by winning the Amateur US Open.

Plus she is only 18, hope she does well tomorrow.



Anyone seen her play?

1st, I like her. She's entertaining and quite good.

2nd, I don't like to think of someone as "the next so-and-so".
There's never been a 2nd Arnold Palmer, a 2nd Jack Nicklaus, a second Willie Mays or a 2nd Magic Johnson. And never will be.

3rd, Maria Joes Uribe seems to me to have a very different personality from Lorena.

Not the next Ochao, but definitely an entertaining and skillful Uribe!

Yeah I know, I meant it more like she seems to have what it takes to become great!


It would be interesting to see her play but they haven't showed one stroke of her on NBC...

She seems real cocky to me. Don't like her.
