Kane Hits Town to promote LPGA Tour Stop
Four-time LPGA champion Lorie Kane made a long detour today to help promote the upcoming CN Canadian Women’s Open at St. Charles Country Club.
Kane made Winnipeg a middle stop en route from Rochester, N.Y., and this week’s LPGA event in Toledo, Ohio, giving a clinic and interviews during Open media day today at St. Charles.
Canada’s national championship takes place here Aug. 26-29.
Tournament director Sean Van Kesteren said this afternoon that the top 10 players on the current Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings have all declared their intention to play the US $2.25 million event.
That includes Cristie Kerr, who won the LPGA Championship on Sunday in Rochester by 12 shots. That victory vaulted Kerr to the No. 1 spot in the women’s rankings.
Ai Miyazato of Japan, Jiyai Shin of Korea, defending CN Canadian Women’s Open champ Suzann Pettersen of Norway, Yani Tseng of Taiwan, Anna Nordqvist of Sweden, Karrie Webb of Australia, Song-Hee Kim of Korea and Americans Michelle Wie and Angela Stanford have also signed up to play.
Kerr won the 2006 edition of the Open.
Kane, from P.E.I., finished tied for 64th at Rochester as she continues her comeback from a variety of injuries.
She said today she’s feeling rejuvenated and optimistic under coach Sean Foley. Having made three straight cuts, Kane, with career earnings of more than $6.7 million, has banked $19,002 on the tour this season.
