Known as a heartedly self-motivated player on the LPGA Tour, Cristie Kerr used a little bit of extra personal motivation this week to claim her 17th career LPGA Tour victory at the Kia Classic. It looked as if nothing would get in Kerr’s way en-route to a final-round 65. Her four-round total of 20-under par 268 broke the event’s scoring record by four shots. Kerr started Sunday’s round three shots off the lead and a hot putter in the middle of the round helped kick start the charge. She carded five birdies in a span of six holes from Nos. 5-10.
But a bogey on the par 4 12th dropped her back into a three-way tie with Lydia Ko and Mirim Lee at 17-under par.Kerr bogeyed her first hole of the day on No. 12 but ignited a fire which started a birdie barrage of four-consecutive birdies on Nos. 13-16 and extended her lead to three shots with two holes to play.“
Just felt like it was meant to be, our first win together, even our first Top 10 together really,” said Kerr.“ I mean we just fell in stride and the team that we are is pretty amazing in such a short period of time.”
