Pleasant Valley Country Club
Location in Massachusetts
The 1968 LPGA Championship was the fourteenth LPGA Championship , held June 20–24 at Pleasant Valley Country Club in Sutton, Massachusetts , southeast of Worcester .
In an 18-hole Monday playoff, Sandra Post won her only major title, defeating defending champion and LPGA president Kathy Whitworth by seven strokes.[2] [3] Post turned 20 earlier in the month and this was the first of her eight victories on the LPGA Tour . It was the only women's major won by a Canadian for 48 years, until 18-year-old Brooke Henderson won this event in 2016 .
This was the second consecutive LPGA Championship held at Pleasant Valley, and the second of seven in an eight-year stretch.
The PGA Tour also played at the course this year ; the inaugural Kemper Open was held in mid-September, won by Arnold Palmer .[4] [5]
