The Tuncurry golfer enters the tournament off the back of her sixth tour victory in the Lady Anne Funerals ALPG Pro-Am at Ryde-Parramatta Golf Course.

Kemp is just one in a star studded lineup that includes current ANZ Ladies Masters champion Katherine Hull, Australia’s number two, Lindsey Wright, three time LPGA winner Wendy Doolan and home town favourite, multiple winner on the LPGA of Japan, Nikki Campbell.

But organisers are touting Davies as their biggest drawcard, having accumulated over 70 titles worldwide, including four major championships with her long hitting and aggressive playing style.

With $125,000 in prizemoney up for grabs, the Classic launches the ALPG Tour’s 2010 major tournament schedule which includes the Bing Lee/Samsung NSW Women’s Open; Pegasus New Zealand Women’s Open; ANZ Ladies Masters and HANDA Women’s Australian Open.

ALPG CEO Warren Sevil was delighted with the response for the Royal Canberra event.

“The reaction has been amazing. It just goes to show that these girls are keen to play, keen to entertain the Australian golf fans and eager to express their gratitude to our new sponsor and host Club,” he said.

“This is an exciting year for the ALPG Tour, adding a new tournament and another opportunity to showcase women’s professional golf at its best.”
