Sarah Kemp Starts On The LPGA

Cal on February 13th, 2008

Sara Kemp at the 2007 Nykredit Masters

This week sees the start of Sarah Kemps’ first year on the LPGA with the SBS Open at Turtle Bay.

Her website is subtitled “Aiming to be Australia’s finest golfing export”. A grand aim considering how good Karrie Webb has been!

Coming off a tied 28th at the 2008 ANZ Ladies Masters, and a missed cut at the 2008 MFS Australian Women’s Open, she certainly has some work to do to live up to that claim. At only 22 though, she certainly has time on her side.

It’s always good seeing another Australian steeping up to the big league, and we certainly wish her the best for her maiden year on the LPGA.
