ATLANTA, GA, April 3, 2006 -
Srixon Staff Professional Karrie Webb won the LPGA's first major,
the Kraft Nabisco Championship, in dramatic fashion on Sunday, April 2,
2006. Starting the final day of play 7 shots behind the leader, Webb
made 5 birdies and an incredible eagle on the 72nd hole to catapult to
the outright lead for the first time in the entire tournament and
eventually prevail in a playoff.
Standing on the
18th hole, 1 stroke behind the leaders, Webb relied on the precision
and distance control of the Srixon Z-UR prototype and Srixon forged
irons to hole out from 116 yards for the eagle. Webb, who also plays
with Srixon's W-506 Driver then calmly birdied the first hole of the
sudden death playoff to win her second Kraft Nabisco title. Webb fired
a 9-under par, 279 total (70-68-76-65) and is now in 3rd place on the
ADT Official Money List. This was the 7th major of her illustrious
career and her 31st career LPGA title.
In November of 2005, Webb was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
