Let me start out by congratulating Hee Young Park for her very exciting victory over Angela Stanford on the 3rd playoff hole of the Manulife Financial Classic. What an incredible season this has been so far. Almost every tournament this year has been decided on the final hole or has gone into a playoff.

The LPGA moves back to the United States this week for the playing of the Marathon Classic presented by Owens Corning O-1.

This will be tournament # 17 of 28 on the LPGA schedule this year.
