Sun City:Paraguaysurprised all with their seven-stroke victory on their debut in the Women'sWorld Cup of Golf on Sunday, making a tremendous impact for a country with onlysix golf courses.

Julieta Granada and Celeste Troche sealed a wire-to-wire victory with aseven under par 65 in the final betterball matches for a total of nine underpar.

"Day one was key," said the 20-year-old Granada.

"We didn't expect a four-shot lead at only five under then, but it madea big difference because the alternate shot is such a tough format, and theneverybody scores low in the betterball," she said.

The United Statesteam of Juli Inkster and Pat Hurst finished second on two under with a closing 67.

 Korea's Kim Young and Shin Ji-Yaiyook third place on one under, also with a 67.

Granada andTroche did not get off to the best of starts when they both three-putted thefirst for a bogey.

But Granadasoon found her form, making the birdies at holes three, five, six, eight and11, while Troche birdied 10, chipped in for birdie on 17 and then holed afive-footer for birdie at the last.

"That chip-in on 17 made us realise that this wasn't just a dream butthat it was actually happening," said Troche.

As a team, the two players could not be further apart in their careers atthe moment.

Granada is arising star on the LPGA Tour and came into this event having claimed therichest first prize in women's golf when she won the one million dollars ADTChampionship.

"I like winning. I'm enjoying going to the press conferences, and thecheques are nice too," said the bubbly Granada, whose mother caddied for her thisweek.

"She gets a good percentage," she said.

Troche, on the other hand, arrived in South Africa unsure of her futurefollowing a poor 2006 in which she campaigned on the Futures Tour and enjoyedonly a few starts on the LPGA Tour, but with little success.

"To win this is a great feeling because I have been struggling. I'vebeen wondering what I should do with my life and whether I should continueplaying golf, and this week gave me the answer," she said.

Paraguaystarted the day with a four-stroke lead but lost a shot at the very first hole,a par-5, where the best they could do was a bogey six.

But the 20-year-old Granadaand the 25-year-old Troche played brilliant golf after that with eight birdiesin the next 17 holes.

At the start of the tournament Paraguay were 20-1 outsiders, butthey hardly put a foot wrong in the individual medal on day one, the foursomeson day two, and the closing session of betterball.

South Africafinished a disappointing 16th on 13 over par despite a solid 66 in thebetterball. But it was a slow start in the opening singles which led to theirworst finish in three years in this event.

"We tried a bit too hard on the first day. We should have just stayedsteady. But we really came back on the final day," said Laurette Maritz.
