It was career win No. 11 for Cristie Kerr at the LPGA Safeway Classic. Kerr bested Helen Alfredsson and Sophie Gustafson in a playoff, after getting into the playoff with a closing round of 65 (the best round of the day). It's the first win of the year for Cristie, who is closing strong after what was - by her lofty standards - a lackluster first half of the season. Since mid-May, Kerr has finished no lower than 21st, and has five Top 10s in that span.
