Cristie Kerr, 47, wins for the first time in eight years at LPGA Legends Championship
Cristie Kerr hoisted a trophy for the first time in eight years this weekend at the LPGA Legends Championship. The two-time major winner and former No. 1 celebrated in style on husband Erik Stevens' 60th birthday. 'It's been a long time since I won a tournament, and it's never easy to win on any tour. To have my friends and family here, and to be able to get my first win in front of my youngest son, Griffin … I'll take it to the grave,' said Kerr, who won 20 times on the LPGA. 'It is just so special. My other friends and family that spent the entire week of their time with us to come out and support, it was really worth it. It was amazing.' Kerr's closing 70 at the Copper Rock Golf Course in Hurricane, Utah, put her at 6 under for the tournament and two strokes clear of the field. Former LPGA player Moira Dunn-Bohls finished second while Maria McBride placed solo third at 3 under. Last year, Kerr finished runner-up to Angela Stanford at the LPGA Legends Championship, three back. Kerr, 47, recently played on the Epson Tour close to home in Scottsdale and finished 10th with her husband on the bag. She also played in the LPGA's Arizona stop – the Ford Championship – this spring, where she missed the cut. 'I don't play full-time on tour anymore," said Kerr, "and I said if I wanted to have a chance here and also at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship, that I needed to get more reps and made myself do it. Got a top 10 at the Carlisle Arizona Women's Golf Classic in Scottsdale, where I live, with my husband on the bag, so it's been a pretty good couple of weeks.'
