Cristie Kerr wins her 14th LPGA title

With a final score of -19, Cristie Kerr dominated the field and won her 14th LPGA title and second major championship at the LPGA Championship presented by Wegmans.

Kerr goes on top as #1

With this win at Locust Hill Country Club, it moves Kerr into the number one spot of the world’s best woman golfer. She tops Ai Miyazato who held the title and tied for third in today’s match with a score of -6.

Miyazato had a great day with a -6 but could not catch Song-Hee Kim for the second place finish.

Song-Hee Kim comes in at #2

To our excitement, Song-Hee Kim closed at -7 for the tournament and came in 2nd overall. Song-Hee Kim was our favorite for this tournament but we are so glad to see her make it to the 2nd place with total winnings of $207,790.

Cristie Kerr played some fantastic golf this weekend and never stopped. Her finish on 18, ending on a 4 foot birdie putt, displayed what a quality golfer she is.

It is a big deal, Rochester

The LPGA Championship presented by Wegmans at Locust Hill Country Club is a big deal for Rochester. It is not only a big deal, it is a Major. Bringing in a Major Championship for the LPGA is not an easy task. It takes a great course, a welcoming community, and a strong fan base. The LPGA has always loved bringing their game to the Rochester area but believes it is a great place to hold one of the top championships in golf.

Golf Local was able to get out and meet with the players, volunteers, and fans.

Top-Notch Women Golfers

Watching the professional women golfers as they hit the center of the green is an energizing experience. You can feel their passion and dedication for the game. Cristie Kerr is a fantastic player and has not disapointed her fans this week. She draws large crowds and has an amazing short game. It would make even Tiger jealous. She has played Locust Hill so well despite the hard conditions and the unforgiving weather.

The Friendliest Volunteers

It takes many volunteers to put on the event and there were many that had to be turned away. The volunteers at Locust Hill are some of the friendliest event personal we have ever encountered. Whenever we had a question there was always a helping member to guide us in the right direction.

Great Fan Turnout & Support

There has been a great turnout to the LPGA Championship presented by Wegmans this year. There are many fans from all over the country and even world that have come out to watch and show their support. Cristie Kerr has a majority of the fans following her every shot. They cheered her on as she sank a birdie putt on the 15th hole.

GolfLocal.com is proud to be part of Rochester golf.

Weather provided by AccuWeather.com

LPGA players and spectators at the LPGA Championship in Rochester, NY  were surprised by an earthquake  that passed through Rochester, NY  mid afternoon on Wednesday.

The magnitude 5.0 earthquake shook homes and businesses covering a distance from Canada to Vermont. The heart of the earthquake was at the Ontario-Quebec border in Canada.

On Tuesday, the Excedrin Pro-Am was delayed twice before it was officially called off due to thunderstorms and rain. Despite the earthquake that took place on Wednesday, the weather ended up cooperating which helped dry out the course.

The weather looks to be OK for the rest of the week but has in the forecast more thunderstorms and rain. The best day of the tournament looks like it will be Friday with a sun-filled morning and afternoon with the highs being in the upper 70’s.

If you are coming out to the event make sure to bring an umbrella and some shoes you do not mind getting wet. The LPGA organizers are doing their best to make sure the course is in good playing shape but the rain will make it a very difficult course to play.

Only 1 week till the 2nd major tournament of the LPGA will be played this year. It will take place June 21 – June 27, 2010 at one of Rochester’s best courses, Locust Hill Country Club.

The first major tournament was won by twenty-one year old Yani Tseng with a scores 69-71-67-68 (-13) at the beautiful Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, CA.

Yani Tseng said, “Yeah, I’m still very excited right now, and I played very solid today.  I had an eagle on the second hole, and I know today is going to be my day.  I just keep telling myself commit to the shot and keep my tempo right, and just keep smiling all 18 holes, however I play, however if I make a three-putt or anything.  Just keep smiling, and I called my psychology teacher this morning before I played, and I had a really good talk with her, and she told me a lot, and it helped me a lot with today.”

Her official money winnings was $300,000.

With Tseng looking good for Locust Hill, Song-Hee Kim will be a good match who lead most of the Kraft Nabisco Championship the first major. Kim was strong but was not able to hold on. Tseng put up great shots and just played fantastic golf.

Song-Hee Kim is the highest ranked player without a win

Song-Hee Kim seems to be in good health and is the highest ranked player without a win. She finished in the top 21 of all four major championships in 2009. Last year she tied for 9th with Amy Yang, Stacy Lewis, Jin Young Pak at Locust Hill.

Look for Song-Hee Kim to be a strong contender for the second of four majors at the LPGA Championship presented by Wegmans. The LPGA Championship presented by  Wegmans, will be held at Locust Hill Country Club, June 21-27 and is the second of four major tournaments. The overall purse for the event is bringing in a $2,250,00.

Large turnout expected for LPGA

There is expected to be a large turnout of fans and even record-breaking numbers. The Buffalo News mentions that, tournament co-chairman Jerry Stahl said Monday that ticket sales are running about 50 percent ahead of the previous record. Daily crowds could reach about 25,000 for the four rounds of the event. The biggest one-day crowds in recent years have been about 20,000. The best crowds for the week at the event have been in the 100,000 range.

“If I had to guess, I’d say I wouldn’t be surprised if we had 125,000 or 130,000,” Stahl said. “I don’t think there’s an LPGA event that has that many spectators.”

With the excitement and expectation high we will be cheering on Song-Hee Kim as she fights for her first win.
