The Other Fifth Major

May 18, 2009

1 While the PGA Tour held the best of its nonmajors, the LPGA did the same, teeing it up at the Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Va., for the Michelob Ultra Open, which Cristie Kerr (right) won by two shots with a 16-under 268. But a big part of the Michelob's appeal—its $2.2 million purse, one of the largest on the LPGA tour—may also be the event's undoing, as Anheuser-Busch, which was bought by the Belgian company InBev last July, has not yet committed to sponsor the tournament beyond this year.
