Hamilton Farm Golf Club

Final match notes and interviews
May 22, 2011
Suzann Pettersen (def. Cristie Kerr, 1 UP)
Rolex Rankings No. 3 Suzann Pettersen held off No. 4 Cristie Kerr to take a 1 UP victory in the final match of the 2011 Sybase Match Play Championship. Pettersen sank a 15-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to seal the match against Kerr and clinch her first victory of the 2011 season. Pettersen's last win came at the 2009 CN Canadian Women's Open.
Despite feeling under the weather for the majority of the week, Pettersen managed to win six straight matches to capture the title and the $375,000 first-place winner's check. It was a week full of close matches for Pettersen, who saw four of her six matches go down to the 18th hole. Pettersen's largest victory of the week came in the second round when she defeated Amy Hung, 5 and 3. Coming into this week, Pettersen had recorded three top-10 finishes this season. Those were a tie for 8th at the season-opening Honda LPGA Thailand, a tie for 10th at the Kia Classic and a tie for 3rd at the Avnet LPGA Classic.
The final match was a tightly contested battle between Pettersen and Kerr, and it had a Solheim Cup feel to it. Pettersen, a five-time member of the European. Solheim Cup team, took a 2 UP lead through four holes with birdies on the 2nd and the 4th, but Kerr, who has made five U.S. Solheim Cup appearances, brought the match back to all square with two birdies of her own (No. 5 and No. 8). A birdie on the par-4 9th by Pettersen gave her a 1 UP lead at the turn. Things remained close as two halved the next five holes on the back nine before Pettersen won the 15th hole to take a 2 UP lead. But ever the competitor, Kerr birdied the 17th to force the match to the final hole.
The road to Pettersen's match-play title:
Suzann Pettersen (5) defeated Natalie Gulbis (49), Amy Hung (45), Stacy Lewis (21), Yani Tseng (4), Na Yeon Choi (1) and Cristie Kerr (3).
For Cristie Kerr the runner-up finish is her best so far this year. It's also Kerr's fourth top-10 finish of the 2011 season, which included a tie for ninth at the HSBC Women's Champions, a fourth place finish at the RR Donnelly LPGA Founders Cup and a tie for third at the Kia Classic.
See you in Rio: Pettersen may have bested Kerr in Sunday's final match but the two players will have the chance to face each other again next week as they'll both be in the field for the HSBC Brazil Cup in Rio De Janeiro. A total of 30 players will compete in the 36-hole, stroke-play event at the Itanhanga Golf Club. Kerr and Pettersen will join defending champion Meaghan Francella in Rio De Janeiro, which will be hosting the 2016 Olympics when golf returns to the games for the first time since 1904.
Pettersen is going to Canyon Ranch. With her victory at the 2011 Sybase Match Play Championship, Suzann Pettersen earned an all-inclusive stay for two at a Canyon Ranch resort. In a combined effort to promote health and overall well-being among Tour players, Canyon Ranch will provide every winner of an LPGA event with one all-inclusive stay at one of Canyon Ranch's two destination resorts.
No. 1 seed Na Yeon Choi won the consolation match over Angela Stanford, 4 and 3. After falling to Cristie Kerr on the 18th hole of her morning semifinal match, Stanford was slow to get things going against Choi. Last year's LPGA Official Money List winner, Choi won five of
