Kerr Earns 5-Stroke Win
Cristie Kerr's 8-under performance in '03 earned a tie for second, but in '05, it was a runaway victory at the LPGA Michelob ULTRA Open at Kingsmill Resort & Spa. Kerr shot 68-68-68-72 for her first victory of the 2005 season and fifth of her career.. Kerr's 8-under, 276 topped runner-up Jill McGill at -3, 281 through 72 holes.. Kerr walked away with a Waterford crystal trophy and a check from Anheuser-Busch for $330,000 - the second highest payout on the LPGA Tour.

Birdies For Breast Cancer
Anheuser-Busch donated $5,000 today to the 2005 Michelob ULTRA Open at Kingsmill Champion Cristie Kerr to recognize her commitment to breast cancer research. Kerr founded the Birdies for Breast Cancer program which benefits from a $50 pledge for each birdie she makes. With 18 birdies at the 2005 Michelob ULTRA Open, Birdies For Breast Cancer will benefit from a $900 donation from Kerr.

The par-5, 495-yard Hole 7 proved the most generous on Sunday, with 28 birdies and one eagle. The par-4, 405-yard Hole 10 challenged the field for 35 bogeys and five double bogeys.
