Kris Tschetter wins playoff in Legends Tour opener
SUN CITY WEST, Ariz. (AP) Kris Tschetter won the Walgreens Charity Classic on Sunday for her first Legends Tour's title, beating Hall of Famer Juli Inkster with a par on the first hole of a playoff.
''I've been in the snow for a while, but I felt pretty good coming into this week,'' said Tschetter, a four-time LPGA Tour winner who lives in Warrenton, Virginia. ''I just tried to swing smoothly and not let any errant shots rattle me.''
The 50-year-old Tschetter birdied the final hole of regulation for a 4-under 68, while Inkster closed with a bogey for a 69. They finished at 6-under 138 at Grandview Golf Course.
Tschetter earned $30,000.
Rosie Jones and Barb Mucha tied for second at 4 under. Jones had a 71, and Mucha shot 70.
First-round leader Martha Nause followed her opening 67 with a 74 to tie for fifth at 3 under.
