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.

405-yard Hole 10 challenged the field
for 35 bogeys and five double bogeys.
