Stanford Pro-Am Kicks off This Weekend
The first LPGA Pro-Am kicks off this weekend without the women’s number one play Lorena Ochoa. But there will still be some big golf names on the roster, including Anikka and Paula Creamer. The tournament is the first Pro-Am for the tour in 7 years and will feature 44 of the top 50 names on the money list. A few big stars will be testing their golf skill against the women as well, including James Caan, Mike Schmidt, Ivan Lendl and even television news man Stone Phillips.
Caan, an 11 handicapper will be paired with Chistina Kim. When asked about the event, Caan quipped, “It’s fun, and it’s an honor to be here. On the other hand, they’re here to make money. I’m capable of going out and shooting even or a couple over. But I’m very capable of shooting 95. And these particular surroundings are more conducive to the 95. I put a lot of pressure on myself. I’m going to be taking probably shots of Valium every two or three holes or something.”
