The LPGA Tour returns to the Lone Star State this week for the inaugural North Texas Shootout in Irving, Texas.
Lizette Salas' final round at last week's LPGA LOTTE Championship was one of the best in recent LPGA history. Salas' 10-under-par 62 was the lowest round on the LPGA this season and the lowest score since Brittany Lincicome shot a first-round, 11-under-par 61 at the 2010 CVS Pharmacy LPGA Challenge.
Lizette Salas saw a move within the top-50 on the Rolex Rankings this week moving up 15 spot to No. 22.
Rolex Rankings No. 6 Suzann Pettersen managed to hold off a red-hot Lizette Salas in Sunday’s final round of the LPGA LOTTE Championship Presented by J Golf, making par on the first hole of a playoff to capture her 11th career LPGA victory.
Rolex Rankings No. 6 Suzann Pettersen will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the LPGA LOTTE Championship Presented by J Golf after shooting a 4-under 68 in Friday’s third round. Pettersen got off to a hot start in her round, making birdies on her first three holes, and managed to hold steady in her round by playing the back nine in 1-under, as other players caught fire on ‘Moving Day’ when the Hawaii winds died down at Ko Olina Golf Club.
