FIELDS OPEN IN HAWAII TO HOST JUNIOR CLINIC PRESENTED BY KRAFT FOODS, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19TH
The Fields Open in Hawaii Junior Clinic presented by Kraft Foods, a part of the tournament's exciting week of festivities, will be held on Tuesday, February 19th from 4-5 pm at the Ko Olina Golf Club practice range. Admission and parking for the clinic is free. This year's special event will feature popular LPGA players Paula Creamer and Christina Kim. Both will demonstrate a variety of shots and speak about their love for golf, as well as the life skills and core values that are an integral part of the game.
Paula Creamer recorded 11 top-10 finishes in 2007, in addition to winning the season-opening SBS Open at Turtle Bay. She also became the fastest player in LPGA history to cross the $3 million mark in career earnings, reaching the milestone at the Michelob ULTRA Open at Kingsmill in two years, two months and 19 days.
Christina Kim's best finish in 2007 was second place at the LPGA State Farm Classic, where she carded a season-low 66 in both the second and final rounds. Kim posted five additional top-10 finishes for the season. In 2007 Kim crossed the $2 million mark in career earnings and carded her fourth LPGA career hole-in-one at the Honda LPGA Thailand.
