CRISTIE KERR SEALS EMOTIONAL VICTORY AT LACOSTE LADIES OPEN DE FRANCE
"American Cristie Kerr led from start to finish to complete an emotional victory at the Lacoste Ladies Open de France, for her first win on the Ladies European Tour.
A 19-time winner on the LPGA, Kerr was inspired to a dominant performance by playing for a cancer charity.
“I played for cancer and we lost Cassandra (Kirkland) and we lost a good friend of mine back home on Tuesday to cancer. I’m sorry, but f*** cancer,” said Kerr, who is well known for her fundraising work for Birdies for Breast Cancer."
"Players were asked to donate five euros for every birdie recorded during the first two rounds of the tournament to a charity called ARTIC, in memory of Ladies European Tour player Cassandra Kirkland, who died from cancer in April. Kerr declared that she would make a US$5000 donation to the charity."
