Click here to Watch Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic Live
The LPGA's Jamie Farr Owens Classic is played as a result of PGA Caddy Judd Silverman's dream of an LPGA event in Ohio. He got permission from the LPGA Commissioner at the time, John Laupheimer and enlisted a group of sponsors, even getting Author Jamie Farr to use his name and status to garner celebrities for the first event. That was in 1982, and the Jamie Farr Owens Classic is still going on, this year July 2nd through the 5th, with a purse that totals $1.4 Million dollars. This year's celebrity tournaments will feature Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills Hall of Famer Jim Kelly, as well as a performance by The Beach Boys..

The golfers who will be taking the stage this week inlude Meg Mallon, who was the champion at the par-71 Highland Meadows Golf Club against Ri Pak, who will also be attending. Other names include Morgan Pressel and Brittany Lang. The 2008 Champion was Paula Creamer, who beat Nicole Castrale by just two strokes, will be paired up with Christina Kim, who also faced each other at the Sybase Classic. Birdie Kim, who took the U.S. Women's Open will also be attending.

Another pairing will feature Natalie Gulbis and Marisa Baena, with Gublis already taking six top ten placements on the tour this year. As for Marisa Baena, she just finished up in first, and a take-home of half a million dollars at the HSBC Women's Match Play Tournament last week. When the Jamie Farr Owens started the purse was only $175,000 dollars, but now it moves up to $1.4 million and some of the best golfers in the LPGA.
