The Lexus Cup is an annual golf tournament for professional women golfers contested by a team representing Asia and an international team representing the rest of the world. It is sanctioned by the LPGA Tour, but any winnings are unofficial and are not included in the LPGA money list standings. This year, it was held in Singapore at Singapore Island Country Club.
Just yesterday, the 3-day event(Friday to Sunday) eventually ended with Team International winning 12½ to Team Asia's 11½.
Alright, so today I will post a rating of this 3 day golf event, also this will be the last official LPGA appearance for Team International captain Annika Sörenstam. She will retire at the end of the 2008 season.
If you have watched it from TV, and you really like the atmosphere of it, do head down next year (if its held in Singapore next year).
Anyway, after watching so many golf competitions, I still felt that Lexus Cup is one of the most relaxing and friendly competition. Both Team Asia and International didn't really played with anger, furthermore, when players and players finished the 18-hole battle, they will all wait at the 18th hole for their fellow mates and cheer for them, so this is a rare scene which can be seen in other major golf competitions.
Those players can have a relaxing and less pressure day with their opponents and they will surely have a fun light-hearted time to play their shot.
Ratings :
Venue : 4.5/5 (Much better clean and green venue compared to Tanah Merah Country Club, which held Lexus Cup 2006 & 2007)
Atmosphere : 4.5/5 (Not much pressure from each golfers, laughs and jokes can be seen in their interview after their 18 holes battles as well)
Players : 4/5 (If you are like golf, you will know some of the popular golfers taking part as well )
Overall : 4.5/5 (quite a nice experience, don't miss out Lexus Cup 2009 if its held in Singapore too)
