Sports Network Selections

Pick to Win - Azahara Munoz
Darkhorse - Lexi Thompson

Last Week's Pick to Win (Stacy Lewis) - Finished 1st
Last Week's Darkhorse (Karine Icher) - Finished tied for 12th

NOTES:

The second major of the year is here, as world No. 1 Yani Tseng goes for her fourth LPGA title of 2012 and sixth career major championship. Tseng, the 2008 and 2012 champion, finished third in the first major of the season, the Kraft Nabisco Championship. Sun Young Yoo captured that tournament for her first career major.

Stacy Lewis is now the top American in the world at No. 3. She has two wins this year and her and Tseng are the only multiple winners in 2012. Lewis has finished in the top-five six times, winning two of her last three events.

Azahara Munoz of Spain is second on the money list to Tseng. She has made the cut in all 10 events she has played this year. Munoz has finished in the top-four in her last four events, winning the Sybase Match Play Championship.

American teen Lexi Thompson is in good form coming into this tournament. She has finished in the top-five in her last two events. The 17-year-old Thompson is ranked No. 21 in the world.

This is the third year that this event is being held at Locust Hill Country Club in Pittsford, New York. The course hosted the Wegmans LPGA from 1977 to 2009.

Last year, Tseng carded rounds of 66-70-67-66 and ran away with a 10-stroke win over Morgan Pressel. She finished at 19-under-par 269, which tied Cristie Kerr's record from 2010 at Locust Hill Country Club for lowest score in relation to par in the tour's four major championships. With the victory, Tseng, 22, became the youngest golfer -- male or female -- to win four major championship titles.

In 2010, Kerr closed with a six-under 66 in the final round to claim a record-breaking 12-stroke win. Kerr finished at 19-under-par 269 and set the tournament mark for largest margin of victory. Kerr became the first American to win this title since Juli Inkster in 2000. She was the only player in the field to shoot four rounds in the 60s.

In 2009, Sweden's Anna Nordqvist tapped in a short birdie putt on the 18th hole in the final round to close out a four-stroke win over Lindsey Wright. Nordqvist carded a four-under 68 to finish the championship at 15-under-par 273. The Swede, ranked 214th in the world entering the championship, won her first LPGA Tour title in her fifth official LPGA Tour start.

Tseng, a 19-year-old rookie from Taiwan, made a birdie on the fourth playoff hole in 2008 to defeat Maria Hjorth. Tseng became the second-youngest woman to win a major championship and the first from Taiwan. Pressel was 18 when she won the 2007 Kraft Nabisco Championship.

Suzann Pettersen won her first major in 2007 by edging out Karrie Webb, atoning for her collapse at the first major of 2007, the Kraft Nabisco Championship. In that tournament, Pettersen gave away four shots in a three-hole stretch at the end of the final round, handing Pressel her first major instead.

In 2006, Se Ri Pak birdied the first playoff hole to knock off Webb for her fifth career major title and third LPGA Championship. When Pak completed her first round in 2007, she officially became the first South Korean to enter the LPGA Tour and World Golf Halls of Fame. Pak earned the required number of points to qualify for the Hall of Fame in 2004 when she captured the Michelob ULTRA Open at Kingsmill.

Annika Sorenstam opened with rounds of 68-67-69 in 2005 to open a five-shot lead heading into the final round. She managed a one-over 73 on the final day to win her third straight LPGA Championship by three strokes over Michelle Wie. Sorenstam completed the event at 11-under-par 277. She won the Kraft Nabisco Championship earlier in 2005 and became the first player since Pat Bradley in 1986 to win the season's first two majors. Sorenstam also became the first woman to win the same major three consecutive years. The one-over 73 snapped her run of 14 straight rounds in the 60s, an LPGA Tour record. Sorenstam is the all-time money leader at this event with $1,264,146 in earnings. She finished outside of the top-16 only once in 14 career appearances. Sorenstam finished tied for third in her final appearance in 2008.

When Webb captured the 2001 title, she became the youngest player to complete the career Grand Slam. Webb established a new 36-hole record of 131. At the age of 26, Webb joined Mickey Wright, Louise Suggs, Pat Bradley and Juli Inkster as the only players to win four different majors in their LPGA careers. Sorenstam joined that impressive list in 2003 after winning the Women's British Open.

This tournament was previously held at Bulle Rock Golf Course in Havre de Grace, Maryland from 2005-09. The event was held at DuPont Country Club from 1994-2004, Bethesda Country Club from 1990-93 and Jack Nicklaus Golf Club from 1978-89. Prior to that, it was held at numerous venues.

There have been 13 multiple champions, led by four-time winner Wright. There have been six rookies who have captured this title - Marlene Hagge (1956), Sandra Post (1968), Nancy Lopez (1978), Pak (1998), Tseng (2008) and Nordqvist (2009).

The LPGA Tour moves to Canada in two weeks for the inaugural Manulife Financial LPGA Classic at Grey Silo Golf Course in Waterloo, Ontario.
