Round 2 Highlights & Pro Golfer POV

Hot putters and fearless iron play: Players who trusted their stroke inside 10 feet and went pin-hunting with mid-irons cashed in birdies on holes 14–17. The difference between leading and chasing was confidence in those approaches.

From a pro golfer’s perspective, Round 2 was all about risk-reward golf. The par-5s rewarded aggressive second shots, but the landing zones were tight. Those who played safe left birdies on the table. Momentum built fast — a late run of birdies flipped the leaderboard as sunset approached.

TPC River’s Bend Course Notes & Strategy

  • Firm, slick greens: Players with elite lag putting avoided costly three-putts.
  • Back-nine crosswinds: Shot-shaping on holes 13–16 determined birdie chances.
  • Par-5 decision-making: Aggression was rewarded, but a miss left or right often meant bogey.

Players to Watch — Moving Day Storylines

As Round 3 approaches, keep your eyes on players who combine greens-in-regulation consistency with short-game precision. Wannasaen, Thitikul, and the defending champion all showed the kind of control that translates to weekend success. Expect leaderboard shakeups as pressure mounts at the Kroger Queen City Championship 2025.

Kroger Queen City Championship 2025 — Why Round 1 mattered

Thursday at the Kroger Queen City Championship presented by P&G delivered the kind of scoring and drama that separates a warm-up event from a real test. TPC River’s Bend teased both birdie runs and tight par saves as the season pushes toward the fall stretch — and Round 1 already gave us a leaderboard full of names you’ll be hearing all week. Official tournament coverage and real-time scoring are available on the LPGA leaderboard.

Round 1 Highlights — Key shots, turns and standouts

The opening round belonged to players who married bold aggression with smart course management — low, confident drives into tight landing areas, precise iron approaches that attacked the front pins, and a handful of clutch up-and-downs. Names to bookmark from Day 1 include early scorers who built momentum off the tee and the pros who saved par from tough lies. For official recaps and featured groups, check LPGA tournament news and the Queen City Championship site.

Top Round 1 talking points

  • Low rounds set the early tone: an impressive 9-under 63 shot the leader into position and put pressure on the chasing pack. (See scoreboard for the leader names.)
  • Approach shots mattered: players who hit the middle tiers of the green were able to roll in birdie putts from 20–30 feet — classic TPC risk/reward.
  • Short-game saves: several experienced pros converted crucial up-and-downs to avoid bogeys on the tougher holes; technique over power was rewarded late in the round.

What to copy in your swing — Practical pro tips

As a pro who studies swings every week, here are the three things I’d teach an amateur after watching Round 1:

  1. Tempo before torque: when the leaderboard birds start falling, it’s not always the biggest swing winning — it’s the repeatable one. Control tempo through transition, then add speed.
  2. Quality of contact: watch how top pros attack pins — they use clubface control and smart loft management, not wild hands. Practice hitting down slightly on irons for cleaner compression and more reliable approach distances.
  3. Short-game voodoo: get comfortable with bump-and-run options and high-loft bunker shots — several saves in Round 1 came from players who trust their wedges around the green.
"If you copy one thing from Round 1, copy the setup and the plan: aim for the fat part of the green and let your speed do the work." — Pro tip from a touring coach.

Why Round 1 Matters

The first round is where energy meets nerves. At TPC River’s Bend, even the opening stretch forces commitment. A sloppy approach on the front nine can cost momentum, but a bold putt can set the tone for the entire week. I always say: if you can conquer your nerves on Thursday, you’ve already beaten half the field.

Round 1 Highlights

Early tee times saw players attacking the soft greens, with birdies dropping on holes 2 and 5. But by midday, shifting winds turned the back nine into a grind — bogeys stacked up on the tricky par-4 13th. The leaderboard flipped several times before sunset, a true reflection of the course’s bite.

Hole-by-Hole Pro Notes

Hole 3 — Accuracy Rules

The tee shot has to find the short grass. Miss left and you’ll need a magician’s touch just to save par.

Hole 5 — Scoring Zone

This par-5 begs for aggression. If the pin’s front, I’m pulling a fairway wood — it’s risk-reward golf at its purest.

Hole 17 — Late Drama

A hole that decides tournaments. The amphitheater crowd, the swirling breeze, and a green that demands perfection — if you’re clutch here, you’re climbing the leaderboard.

Players to Watch in Round 1 — Kroger Queen City Championship 2025

Several rookies looked fearless, hitting irons like seasoned pros. Veterans leaned on course knowledge, especially around the undulating greens. Keep your eyes on the Rolex top-20 — they’re setting the bar, and the younger players are chasing hard.

Pro Takeaways

My biggest takeaway? Keep the ball below the hole and trust your lag putting. Too many players chased pins, only to face slippery downhill putts. Patience wins Thursdays — not fireworks.

Introduction: Why This Rookie Class Matters

Every season brings fresh faces to the LPGA Tour, but the 2025 rookie class is something truly special. As a pro golfer watching from the fairway, I'm seeing a crop of talent that could reshape our tour. From international stars to pressure-tested winners, these rookies aren’t just participants—they’re game-changers.

Roster Overview: Who Made the Cut

The LPGA Tour welcomed 21 rookies in 2025, representing 12 countries—a testament to the tour’s global reach. Here's the full list:

The sheer diversity in nationalities—and backgrounds—makes this class particularly electric.

What to Expect — Week Preview

The Queen City event has become a September highlight in the Midwest — crisp early-fall weather, a fan-friendly footprint at TPC River’s Bend and a field built to test approach play. Expect a jam-packed Fan Village, corporate hospitality from title sponsor Kroger and P&G activations, and broadcast teams shaping storylines into bite-size TV moments.

Quick note for travelers: early week practice and the Wednesday Pro-Am are great times to catch players up close before the weekend crowds.


The Field & Storylines

Tournament coverage in early September confirmed one of the event’s strongest fields yet — major champions and top-10 players committed for the week. Recent press indicated big names joining the entry list, with organizers flagging multiple winners and Ryder Cup-level players among the entrants.

Key storylines to watch

  • Defending form: Can Lydia Ko repeat? Her 2024 scoreline (−23) set a high bar.
  • Major form carryover: Players who found late-season form will use this week to sharpen iron play and team chemistry.
  • Local interest: Regional pros and sponsor exemptions often deliver surprise contenders and strong local engagement.

Course Guide — TPC River’s Bend (Pro POV)

TPC River’s Bend is a classic TPC routing with tree-lined corridors, well-bunkered greens and risk/reward par-5s. The course typically measures around ~6,700 yards (par 72) for the LPGA setup and demands precision on approach shots more than raw distance.

Hole-by-hole mindset (short)

  1. Drive for position: Tight corridors make fairway-finding a premium. Prioritize playability over glory off the tee.
  2. Approach IQ: Smallish green complexes punish being long or short — plan your spin and trajectory for afternoon breezes.
  3. Short game saves: The player who can make slope-reads and scramble from tight lies will gain strokes on weekends.
  4. Par-5 strategy: Pressure lies in third-shot execution; be willing to settle for birdie opportunities rather than heroic lines that risk big numbers.

From a competitor’s brain: walk the line between aggression and protection — this golf course makes you pay for creative misses, so your scoring comes from clean, repeatable execution.

How to Watch & Buy Tickets

Broadcast windows are listed on LPGA schedules (Golf Channel/LPGA digital partners). If you’re attending, general admission and hospitality packages went on sale in late June 2025; early purchase is recommended for weekend access and preferred seating. General admission pricing was announced starting from modest single-day rates.

  • TV/Streaming: Check Golf Channel / LPGA schedule for live coverage times.
  • Tickets: Official ticketing and volunteer signups are handled on the event site — early bird options include family and military benefits (per press release).
  • Parking & travel: Event pages outline daily parking fees and shuttles — arrive early for practice days to avoid traffic.

Pro Notebook — How I’d Prep to Win

If I were walking River’s Bend on Thursday morning, here’s the checklist I’d run:

  1. Range plan: Dial three trusty yardages (85–120, 120–160, 160–200) with two shot shapes for each — the course asks for repeatability under pressure.
  2. Short-game focus: Simulate tight short-side up-and-downs and slow putts from just off the green — those saves close tournaments.
  3. Weather scouting: Check afternoon gust windows; add an extra club into greens when wind kicks from the valley.
  4. Course management: Pick conservative lines for tougher holes; the leaderboard will be won by steady birdie-making and clean pars, not heroics.

On tournament days, simplify reads, shorten your pre-shot routine, and play for the hole you can make — that discipline turns fragile rounds into championship weeks.
