Australian Sarah Kemp has finished 8th in the LPGA Tour’s Kroger Queen City Championship in Cincinnati and, in doing so, recorded her best finish of 2022 and very importantly has moved her 12 places to 88th on the Race to The Globe standings.
The top 100 at the end of the season earn top priority status for 2023 so this week’s effort has helped Kemp in the quest to retain full playing privileges for next season.
Kemp was unable to finish off a good start to her final day, a back nine of 37 resulting in her slipping to 8th place but the US$43,500 and the Race to the Globe points will be most welcome.
Seven events remain on the LPGA Tour calendar ahead of the Tour Championship so there is still time for Kemp to consolidate her position inside the top 100, but this week’s performance will be a boost of confidence ahead of the final stretch.
Hannah Green was the only other Australian to make the cut this week and finished 24th.
The tournament was won by American Ally Ewing who won her third LPGA Tour title with a one shot win over Xiyu Lin.
