The Miami native has been a well known name on the golf circuit for many years. She has 14 amazing wins to her credit. This is an indication of the performance that fans and analysts could expect from Kerr at the Arkansas event.
Many fans have been talking about Kerr’s less-than-perfect game at the recent events. She has not won a single event this year.
This makes her more anxious for the win at the Walmart Northwest Arkansas Championship.
This ‘dry spell’ is unusual for Cristie Kerr. She has a consistent record of winning in 2009 and 2010. In 2011, she had played well but failed to secure the top position in all the events. This is why fans are excited to see her play in this tournament.
Walmart Northwest Arkansas Championship is a perfect opportunity for Kerr to play against the top golfers in the world. She has already played against them on previous occasions. This experience is likely come in handy on the golf course.
The large prize bag attached to the trophy is another reason for Kerr’s participation. She is very active in various charities and a part of the win would go towards them. She is particularly active in fundraising for breast cancer research.
Cristie Kerr has a great career so far. She turned pro in 1996. In 1997, she joined LPGA and then rose through the rankings over the years. Her performance at the 2010 LPGA Championship is still talked about in golf circles.
She managed an unheard margin of a 12-stroke win over Song-Hee Kim. This performance set the tune of her career. This career is far from over.
Experts claim that Kerr will play great golf and will end up in the top positions this year. This will be a much needed victory for Kerr and might jumpstart the winning streak.
