LPGA 2010 Thailand

LPGA kicks off 2010 season opening Honda-PTT LPGA tournament at the Siam Country Club in Chonburi.

Thailand by the world's best lady professional golfers.
LPGA tour has made Thailand debut. Thailand has welcomed the LPGA in a big way, local media interviewed golfers at the airport, and billboards lined those Pattaya streets.

Together with my family and friends, I also went to watch this big event.

Out of 4 days, we stayed in 3 different hotels, Royal Cliff Beach Resort, Centara Mirage Beach Resort, and Sheraton Pattaya, due to their full occupancy.

Golf is my favorite sport because I could see big field covered by green grasses and trees, where doesn't limit myself in a narrow noisy space.



Japan’s professional golfer Ai Miyazato has produced a whirlwind finish to win this Honda PTT LPGA Thailand event, the first one of the LPGA season. Ai Miyazato is now 24 years old and secured her a one shot victory over long time leader Suzann Pettersen.
Suzann Pettersen, 2007 champion from Siam Country Club, Old Course, eagled the final hole to edge out England’s Laura Davies by a narrow one shot margin.



Other top players in the field included Yani Tseng (Taiwan), Cristie Kerr, Lorena Ochoa, Paula Creamer, Michelle Wie and Na Yeon Choi.
Karrie Webb and Cristie Kerr finished in a share of 4th one shot behind third placed Yani Tseng.
Lorena Ochoa won the 2009 champion in Siam Country Club, Plantation Course.

After LPGA Thailand 2010, these top golfers except Paula Creamer, have moved to Singapore for their next tournament, HSBC Women’s Champions event.
Best wishes to those world's best lady professional golfers.
