Quarterfinal notes and interviews
May 21, 2011
Cristie Kerr (def. Ai Miyazato, 3 and 2)
Angela Stanford (def. Paula Creamer, 2 UP)
Na Yeon Choi (def. Sophie Gustafson, 2 UP)
Suzann Pettersen (def. Yani Tseng, 1 UP)
The matches are now set for the semifinal round of the Sybase Match Play Championship at Hamilton Farm Golf Club in Gladstone, New Jersey. No. 3 seed Cristie Kerr will take on No. 18 seed Angela Stanford while No. 5 seed Suzann Pettersen will face No. 1 seed Na Yeon Choi as the original field of 64 is trimmed down to the two finalists. The winner this week will receive a first-place prize of $375,000, while the runner-up will cash $225,000. In addition to the championship match tomorrow afternoon, the two eliminated players will face off in a consolation match. The winner of the consolation match will earn $150,000, while the runner-up will receive $112,500.
The road to the semifinals:
Cristie Kerr (3) defeated Amanda Blumenherst (48), Belen Mozo (60), Kyeong Bae (47), and Ai Miyazato (6)
Angela Stanford (18) defeated Candie Kung (36), Wendy Ward (46), Meena Lee (33) and Paul Creamer (10)
Suzann Pettersen (5) defeated Natalie Gulbis (49), Amy Hung (45), Stacy Lewis (21) and Yani Tseng (4)
Na Yeon Choi (1) defeated Catriona Matthew (39), Karen Stupples (43), Alena Sharp (50) and Sophie Gustafson (42)
The only “upset” of the afternoon came in Suzann Pettersen's victory over Yani Tseng. The two were ranked the No. 5 and No. 4 seeds respectively entering the tournament.
Down to the wire: Three of the four quarterfinal matches were not decided until the 18th hole. Angela Stanford and Na Yeon Choi each came to the 18th with a one up lead, but Suzann Pettersen was all square with Yani Tseng until her birdie on the final hole of regulation gave her a 1 UP victory. For Pettersen, it was the third time in her four matches this week that she's won on the 18th hole.
Golden ticket winners: Ai Miyazato, Sophie Gustafson and Julieta Granada punched their "Ticket to CME Group Titleholders" at the Sybase Match Play Championship, each earning a spot in the season-ending CME Group Titleholders event, which will be held Nov. 17-20, 2011 at Grand Cypress Golf Club in Orlando, Fla. Granada won a three-hole aggregate playoff with four other players for the third and final spot from Sybase. The inaugural CME Group Titleholders, a season finale with a field made up of three qualifiers from every LPGA Tour tournament, is a format never previously used in professional golf. Granada earned her spot by tallying a birdie on the final hole of a three-hole playoff involving five players on Saturday afternoon.
