| NOTES | | | This is the first time that St. Charles Country Club will host the Canadian
Women`s Open, but the track hosted the defunct du Maurier Classic numerous
times. Sherri Steinhauer won the last du Maurier held at St. Charles in 1992.
Juli Inkster, fresh off her disqualification for using a weighted device on
her club to warm up during a delay on the 10th tee Saturday at the Safeway
Classic, took the title at the du Maurier way back in 1984. Both are in the
field this week. Suzann Pettersen won last year`s Canadian Women`s Open at
Priddis Greens Golf & Country Club in Calgary. She won by five strokes over
five different women and if she can do that this week, she might move to No.
1. The revolving door at No. 1 this year has seen Lorena Ochoa (remember
her?), Jiyai Shin, Ai Miyazato and Cristie Kerr hold the perch. Miyazato is
back to first after her win at the Safeway. Kerr is second and Pettersen is
third. Pettersen has never held the top spot, but a successful title defense
will most likely get her that elusive No. 1 ranking. Golf Channel has all
four rounds. The next LPGA Tour event is Sept. 10-12. It`s the Arkansas
Championship and it was won last year by Jiyai Shin.
