Currently, Cristie Kerr is playing with what it takes to take back the #1 position. She is ranked 3rd currently, behind Jiyai Shin & Yani Tseng. She sits atop the leaderboard this week at -8 and is 3 strokes ahead of Stacy Lewis. Ai Miyazato, NYC, Katherine Hull and Paula Creamer all sit in a tie at -4. Cristie set a new course record 64 with her first round yesterday!
I believe Cristie has played with the determination and focus that it takes to be Player of The Year. She has had 11 top ten finishes in 19 starts. Cristie has had 44 of 66 rounds under Par, 275 birdies, and 8 eagles. She is tied for 1st for her putts per green at 1.75 and has a driving avg of 259.2 Cristie has 2 wins this year and 14 career victories.
Host of the tourney Lorena Ochoa, sits in 27th place at +2 currently. Some other noteables; Christina Kim is in a tie for 30th, Mika Miyazato is in a tie for 20th and Suzann Pettersen is in a tie for 9th place.
On the surprising side; Yani Tseng and Anna Nordqvist are tied for 32nd place and Brittany Lincicome is in last at 36th at +7.
With only one more tourney, the LPGA Tour Championship around the corner on Dec. 2-5th in Orlando, Florida, you can bet that these ladies will be giving it their all to finish strong. Having today, saturday and sunday left of this tourney, ANYTHING is possible! The Golf Channel has televised coverage from 4:00-6:30 pm ET daily of the tourney.
The update on Michelle Wie following her withdrawal late yesterday from the tourney, report a couple of small cysts and bulging disc in her back. She remains confident that she will be able to get treatment and rehab her back, stating "it's nothing serious". This goes to show her toughness and determination, after she played yesterday through great pain. I send well wishes to Michelle and you can to0 via Twitter at
