Ladies Celebrate LPGA Founders in Phoenix

[Dogfish Head]

THE JTBC FOUNDERS CUP, THE FIRST U.S. EVENT of the 2014 LPGA season, tees off on Thursday. World No. 3 Stacy Lewis defends her title in the $1.5 million event played on the par-72 Wildfire Golf Club in Phoenix. Also in the 132-player field are the winners of the season's first four LPGA events: Jessica Korda, Karrie Webb, Anna Nordqvist and Paula Creamer.

The tournament celebrates the 13 founders of the LPGA Tour. A portion of the purse will be donated to the LPGA-USGA Girls Golf Program. Besides Lewis, past champions are Webb (2011) and Yani Tseng (2012).

Creamer's Amazing Putt

The LPGA is calling Paula Creamer's 75-footer to win in Singapore the "putt heard 'round the world." And why not? The above video highlights the global coverage, including the various languages (English, Korean, Japanese) and the excited voices.
