The last group off will be interesting to watch. Top 3 players in the world going head to head will make for some exciting golf.
Lewis, Park and Ko... Lydia should be pumped after being named LPGA rookie of the year.

Nice to see Christina in a position to win especially given her well documented struggles with chronic depression and other mental health issues in recent years. Another feel good story for the Ladies Tour...

Go Christina love to see her win. One of the nicest girls who engaged the fans
at the 2006 Canadian Pacific Women's Open in London, ON at the Hunt Club
That event was won by sour-puss Cristie Kerr

I take it that you weren't watching on the Golf Channel, since you posted the outcome before the coverage was over.

Great win for her - huge comeback from the depths of despair...
