"The PGA of America is very excited to be able to host the Senior PGA Championship at Colorado Golf Club in the spring of 2010, which will connect the greatest senior players in the game to Colorado's enthusiastic and knowledgeable golf fans." The 2010 Senior PGA Championship will be contested May 27-30. Jay Haas will defend his Senior PGA title next year at Canterbury Golf Club.

Paula Creamer moved up a spot to No.

Although she has left the door open for a comeback, Annika Sorenstam is still set to retire at the end of the year and this week's event could mark her last appearance on the LPGA Tour.

Sorenstam has won 72 titles on the LPGA Tour, including three this season. The Hall of Fame Swede, who turned 38 last month, has won this tournament four times (1997, 2002, '04, '05).

Stanford, who has posted five straight top-five finishes, completed her third LPGA Tour win at 13-under-par 275.

"It just feels good to be here, I guess I played very solidly and hit quite a number of greens and holed some good putts," noted Lam. "I'm very thrilled."
