Defending Champion
Sun Young Yoo
The LPGA returns to pristine Hamilton Farm Golf Club in Gladstone, N.J. for the second year of the Sybase Match Play Championship. A field of 64 of the best players on the LPGA will compete for a purse of $1.5 million and a first place check of $375,000. Competing this week in the unique match-play format are 9 of the Top 10 players in the Rolex Rankings, including Rolex Rankings No. 1 Yani Tseng, No. 2 Jiyai Shin, No. 3 Suzann Pettersen and top-ranked American Cristie Kerr at No. 5.
This is the 11th year that Sybase has been the title sponsor of an LPGA event and the second time that Sybase has titled an event with the match-play format. Sybase previously hosted the Sybase Big Apple Classic at Wykagyl Country Club from 1999 to 2006 and the Sybase Classic Presented by ShopRite at Upper Montclair Country Club in Clifton, New Jersey, from 2007-2009. The tournament will benefit the Somerset Medical Center.
The field is also comprised of the top-48 players on the LPGA Tour's Official Money List and Karrie Webb and Stacy Lewis closing in on Tseng at second and third on that list, respectively. Webb won back-to-back events on Tour earlier this year, marking her 37th and 38th career wins, while Lewis became a Rolex First-Time Winner and a major champion earlier this season at the Kraft Nabisco Championship.
Defending champion Sun Young Yoo will return for this year's Sybase Match Play Championship. Yoo became a Rolex First-Time Winner at last year's event when she defeated Angela Stanford, a four-time winner on Tour, by capturing the 15th and 16th holes to take a 3&1 victory.
Also among the notables in the field is Maria Hjorth, who returns to Hamilton Farm Golf Club after collecting her fifth-career victory at the Avnet LPGA Classic in Mobile, Ala. during the Tour's last stop. Three rookies -- Hee Kyung Seo, Jenny Suh and sponsor's invite Belen Mozo -- will be in the group of 64 players competing in the match-play event as well.
The draw for the Sybase Match Play Championship will once again follow a unique format. The 64 players in the field will be given a number from 1-64 based on their Rolex Rankings. The top-32 players will be automatically seeded into the brackets. Their opponents will be determined through a blind draw.
While this is only the second year of the Sybase Match Play Championship, Hamilton Farm Golf Club is no stranger to LPGA match play events. The club hosted the HSBC Women's Match Play Championship in 2005 and 2006. Marisa Baena captured the first of those championships, while Brittany Lincicome became a Rolex First-Time Winner at the 2006 HSBC Women's Match Play. She defeated Juli Inkster in the title match.
