"The Tournament of Roses is delighted to name Courtney Lee as the 2009 Rose Queen," said Tournament of Roses President Corky Conzonire. "We are honored to have Queen Courtney and the six Rose Princesses as part of our Tournament of Roses family. We couldn't ask for more talented and graceful ambassadors for Pasadena, the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game."
