The recently crowned champion of the CME Group Tour Championship, who hit the putt of her life, a 25-foot birdie on the final hole of the CME Group Tour Championship to win $1.5 million, will start the 2020 season with 10 LPGA Tour victories, and will look to defend her title at Lake Merced Golf Club in April.

Founded in 1922 and redesigned by the legendary Alister MacKenzie,  Lake Merced has a storied history and long tradition of national tournament golf – notably including top women’s and junior championships going back to 1941, when Babe Didrikson Zaharias won the San Francisco Women’s Open Match Play Championship. In 2012, Lake Merced hosted the U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship, won by current World #3-ranked professional Minjee Lee of Australia.
