Paige MacKenzie, the former University of Washington standout now on the LPGA, is bringing a little of that touring flavor back to the Northwest.
MacKenzie, of Yakima, will be the hostess of the inaugural "Northwest Shootout" on Oct. 4 at Meridian Valley Country Club in Kent.
Twelve LPGA Tour players, including Mackenzie, will play in a format called a "Horse Race" at the one-day event. On each hole, one team will be eliminated in the best-ball competition, until the champion emerges.
Some of the LPGA Tour participants include Northwest natives Wendy Ward and Allison Hanna-Williams, 2006 event winner Julieta Granada, rookie Hannah Jun and Irene Cho, who finished sixth at the 2008 LPGA Championship.
Craig McCrone, the general manager at Meridian Valley CC, said he hopes this event leads a renaissance for the LPGA Tour returning to the greater Seattle area.
"This is the first step in that effort," McCrone said.
The event is free to the public, and begins at 8 a.m. with a pro-am tournament. The "Horse Race" is scheduled to start at 1:30 p.m., and autographs should be available much of the day.
