LPGA

The LPGA and the Toledo Classic, Inc. Board of Trustees today announced that Marathon Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: MPC) has joined the LPGA family as title partner of the Toledo-based tournament, to be played July 18-21, 2013 at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania, Ohio.

LPGA Tour So Yeon Ryu had the Rolex Rankings Move of the Week with her win at the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic Presented by Kroger, Owens Corning and O-I moving 10 spots to No. 12.

LPGA Tour rookie So Yeon Ryu fired a final-round 9-under par 62 to win the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic Presented by Kroger, Owens Corning and O-I and become the fifth Rolex-First Time Winner this year. While Ryu won last year’s U.S. Women’s Open, this marks her first official LPGA Tour victory as a member.

2nd career LPGA victory: 2011 U.S. Women’s Open, 2012 Jamie Farr Toledo Classic Presented by Kroger, Owens Corning and O-I. Becomes the fifth Rolex First-Time Winner of 2012 since her first win came as a non-member.

It took a playoff for So Yeon Ryu to win her first LPGA title at the 2011 U.S. Women’s Open. But she made sure there would be no such close call with her second career victory.

Tomorrow will prove to be a fight to the finish as four players are tied atop the leaderboard after the third round of the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic Presented by Kroger, Owens Corning and O-I.

Chella Choi fired a second-round 4-under 67 to take the lead at the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic Presented by Kroger, Owens Corning and O-I.

Putting was key for Pernilla Lindberg who shot a first-round 7-under par 65 to lead the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic Presented by Kroger, Owens-Corning and O-I.

Na Yeon Choi really likes Toledo, Ohio. That may surprise some, but the South Korean star has had great success in this Northwest Ohio city. Choi won the most recent Jamie Farr Toledo Classic Presented by Kroger, Owens-Corning and O-I in 2010.
