Golf: US Captures LPGA International Crown Team Title

CHICAGO, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 25th july, 2016) - Cristie Kerr birdied the par-5 16th hole to give the United States the title-clinching victory Sunday at the LPGA International Crown team matches, edging South Korea by a point. The Americans, who failed to even qualify for the decisive last-day singles matches in the 2014 inaugural edition of the event, captured the trophy with 13 points over the four-day event to 12 for South Korea and 11 for England and Taiwan. Lexi Thompson, Stacy Lewis, Gerina Piller and Kerr combined for a 6-3 with one halved record through three days of four-ball matches and the singles -- taking the title after losing both matches to England on the opening day of the tournament.
"It's huge," Lewis said.
"This week has been unbelievable for us. To be called the best golfing nation I think is pretty satisfying. "We never gave up. We had zero points the first day, and we still ended up with the most.
It's just a testament to them and their will to want to win this thing." At the Merit Club in suburban Chicago, Kerr led from first hole to last in beating England's Mel Reid 3 and 2 to secure the triumph. Kerr won four of the first five holes, saw her edge trimmed to 1-up after 14, but then won 15 with a par and birdied 16 for the clincher -- not that she realized what she had done.
