Press release
1, 2, 3...Tag Heuer has definitely gathered a team of young and talented winners ! After Maria Sharapova's win in Cincinnati, Sebastien Ogier's victory in Germany, it is Suzann Pettersen's turn to shine in Oregon. Different sports - identical passion for TAG Heuer.
Suzann Pettersen rallied from nine shots back on Sun-day 21 August to win the 2011 Safeway Classic presented by Coca-Cola, recording a par on the 18th hole to defeat world rankings No. 5 Na Yeon Choi on the first hole of a playoff. Pettersen fired the lowest round of the week, a 7-under 64, on the Ghost Creek Course at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in Oregon and finished her round nearly two hours before Choi bo-geyed the 18th hole to force the playoff.
This is Pettersen's second LPGA Tour title of the year, the eighth of her career and her third win of 2011, including the LET Irish Open trophy. She moves up to 2nd in the world rankings after the win.
"I definitely didn't think I was going to sit here when I started the day warming up. It was nice of course to get back-to-back wins, in Ireland and here. I did not anticipate this, but I'll take it. I've got my eye on a few more wins."
