Bailey Shoemaker wins second Kathy Whitworth Invitational in Sudden Death Playoff
During the start of the final round, California’s Kylee Choi and North Carolina’s Kiera Bartholomew were tied for first place with 2021 Champion Bailey Shoemaker just three strokes back.
Choi played steady all day and maintained her lead through the 15th hole. On 16 however, Choi had a triple after being in two hazards, Bartholomew parred and Shoemaker birdie. Now with two holes to play, this final threesome were all tied for the lead. Each parred the final hole which lead to a sudden death playoff.
In the end it was Bailey Shoemaker who birdied the first play off hole for the win. Shoemaker will also earn an exemption into the LPGA’s Volunteers of America Classic.
The KWI Committee would like to extend a big thanks to the sponsors, players, parents, volunteers, Mira Vista Country Club staff, Rules Officials and especially Kathy Whitworth for helping lead this tournament through another successful year.
The Kathy Whitworth Invitational was established in 1999 with the goal of providing talented junior girl golfers the opportunity to participate at the highest tier of competitive golf on a premier championship course and to generate funds to support the Kathy Whitworth Foundation.
The winner of the 2022 Kathy Whitworth Invitational will receive an exemption into the LPGA's Volunteers of America Classic.
“The Kathy Whitworth Invitational, which I won TWENTY years ago, (gasp!) was such an important win to me as a young aspiring golfer. I still view the KWI as the catalyst to my professional golf career and am so proud to say I was a winner of such an amazing tournament.”
-Christina Kim, 3x LPGA Tournament Champion
