Cristie Kerr had her sights set on becoming the No. 1-ranked female in the world for a long time.
She went old-school Tiger Woods at the LPGA Championship last weekend, winning in dominant fashion, to finally earn that No. 1 ranking.
Kerr’s performance was reminiscent of Woods at Augusta in 1997 or Pebble Beach in 2000. After sharing the first-round lead, she was five clear after two rounds, eight ahead through three and won by an “obscene” – her word – 12 strokes.
She had two other telling quotes on Sunday after wrapping up the victory, “It’s a dream performance” and “I didn’t limit myself.”
Those phrases suit her weekend to a “T”. She posted rounds of 68-66-69-66 while setting the LPGA Tour record for lowest score (269) in any of the four major championships. Her 19-under total also set a tour record for lowest score in relation to par in a major.
The dominating performance allowed her to jump from the fifth spot to the top of the women’s world rankings, which started in 2006. She became the first American woman to be ranked No. 1.
