Brooke Henderson
Brooke Henderson topped the field of professional golfers in the Shoprite LPGA Classic on Sunday. The winner of the tournament was Brooke Henderson, 25, from Smiths Falls (Ont.). She shot 64 in the final round. Her 64-hole bogey-free score helped her to the par-5 18th, where she missed a tap in birdie putt. The tournament had been a close call before, but Henderson's final-round 64 was enough to make a playoff and secure her 11th career title.
Julie Inkster
Julie Inkster won 1986 the first ShopRite LPGA Classic. This tournament, now in its 26th year, is one of the oldest on the LPGA Tour. Since then, only Anna Nordqvist has won back-to-back LPGA Tour events. This year, Lee became the first multiple LPGA Tour winner, earning over $11 million in career earnings. Lee is the second woman since In Gee Chun, to win back-2-to-1 major championships.
Julie Boutier
Boutier was ninth at ShopRite LPGA Classic and jumped in to the hunt for the Meijer LPGA Classic top spot. Boutier carded a six under-par 205 in Chevron Championships where she ended her streak of three consecutive 30s. Boutier also finished tied for 34th at the US Women's Open with a scoring average of 72.5. However, she couldn't make the cut at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship, earning only $98,215 for the third place finish. However, her statistics are still impressive for the five years ahead.
Mel Reid
Mel Reid, who lost a lead of two shots at the Portland Classic has won the Shoprite LPGA Classic. Ryan Desveaux, a six-time LPGA Tour champion, was praised by Reid for his heroics in the final round. Reid's victory is her first major title in the LPGA Tour since she made her debut. She is a top seed in the KPMG Women's PGA Championship, the fourth major of the season.
Albane Valenzuela
Albane Valenzuela is on her way towards a remarkable finish, having completed three rounds in the 60s & 70s to reach round four of the ShopRite LPGA Classic. Valenzuela, a New Yorker, currently ranks 57th at the Race to CME Globe. Valenzuela has already made five cuts in this season. Despite her inconsistent play she is enjoying Canada and has a chance of making up some ground this weekend.
Lydia Ko
Lydia Ko has been able to jump back into contention at this year's ShopRite LPGA Classic, after she finished in the top 25, earning over $600k and finishing in the US Open's top 25. The Australian is six shots behind the leaders after her opening round of 71, but she's still in contention with a two-under 65. The Seaview Hotel, Golf Club and Long Branch, New Jersey will host this week's tournament.
