Celeste Troche
Celeste Troche (pronounced "say-LESS-tay TROH-shay") is a Paraguayan professional golfer who was born in Asunción on February 13, 1981. She attended Auburn University in the United States, and was a two time All-American. She was the co-medalist at the 2001 U.S. Women's Amateur Championship. She turned pro in 2003 and has played on the LPGA Tour since then, but has struggled to hold onto full LPGA Tour status so she has had to spend time on the Futures Tour.
