For those of you who love the LPGA (as I do―had you guessed yet?), rookie M.J. Hur shot a career best 65 to finish at 13-under and make a playoff with Suzann Petterson and Michelle Redman. Pettersen lost a 3 shot lead late in the round, but rallied to make the playoff. Redman went out after missing a longish par putt on the first playoff hole; then Hur won a short game duel on the second hole to win the Safeway Classic. This is Hur’s first LPGA win.
It must have been very disappointing for Pettersen, who hasn’t won since 2007 and also struggled at the Solheim Cup last week.
Other Solheim Cuppers making good showings included Michelle Wie (T4), Anna Nordqvist (7), Angela Stanford (T8), and Christina Kim (T8). Natalie Gulbis had her best showing of the year, finishing at 7-under (T12).
