Over the years, Columbia Edgewater has seen its share of fantastic finishes at the LGPA Safeway Classic. From Juli Inkster's win to qualify for the Hall of Fame, to Annika Sorenstam to Lorena Ochoa, the course has been a great venue for golf. Sunday's finish held form.
With the tournament moving to Pumpkin Ridge next year, Columbia Edgewater got one more great tournament that ended with Kristie Kerr winning a three-woman playoff. It was all made possible by a seven-under 65 on Sunday that allowed her to pick up the four strokes she needed to get back into contention.
After covering the event for years and even volunteering a couple of times, I know the work that goes into staging the tournament each and every year. However, it's the club's members we should thank for giving us the opportunity to tromp all over their fairways and get an inside look at one of the area's best clubs.
Thanks to all the ladies who come out to Portland each year, as well. See you next year at Pumpkin Ridge.
