The field in 2014 consisted of 31 professionals and one amateur, and the winning team, Spain, earned $400,000, or $100,000 per player. Format The first three days, Thursday through Saturday, featured round-robin pool play matches at fourball. Each match was worth two points for a win and one point for a halve. Following the completion of pool play, the top two teams in each pool and one wild card team (determined by a playoff of the third place teams) advanced to singles play. The five remaining teams were re-seeded based on points earned in pool play, and each team played one singles match against each of the other teams on Sunday. The total points earned in pool and singles play determined the team champion.http://www.lpgainternationalcrown.com/events/fact-sheet.aspx LPGA International Crown Fact Sheet 2014 July 26, 2014 July 24, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140724050515/http://www.lpgainternationalcrown.com/events/fact-sheet.aspx dead Course Caves Valley Golf Club Hole123456789Out101112131415161718InTotalYards3224281825443351804004044283,2234323474821684124255391874133,4056,628Par443543444354453445343671 Source: Teams On November 13, 2013, eight teams qualified to participate in this event, based on the combined world rankings of the top four players from each country: Australia, Chinese Taipei, Japan, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, and the United States.http://www.lpgainternationalcrown.com/golf/news/2013/11/international-crown-release-who-is-in.aspx Who's In? 2014 International Crown Officially Takes Shape LPGA Tour November 21, 2013 April 11, 2014 December 3, 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20131203004904/http://www.lpgainternationalcrown.com/golf/news/2013/11/international-crown-release-who-is-in.aspx dead http://www.lpga.com/~/media/16ba906aec484fc192ec887e8c26b76f/rolexrankings%2011%2011%202013.pdf Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings November 11, 2013 April 11, 2014 September 12, 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20190912023314/http://www.lpga.com/~/media/16ba906aec484fc192ec887e8c26b76f/rolexrankings dead The team members were finalized on March 31, 2014, and divided into two pools.http://www.lpgainternationalcrown.com/golf/news/2014/3/international-crown-team-announced.aspx Field is Set for Inaugural International Crown; Teams Seeded, Players Finalized in a Dramatic Finish at the Kia Classic LPGA Tour March 31, 2014 April 11, 2014 May 15, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140515191424/http://www.lpgainternationalcrown.com/golf/news/2014/3/international-crown-team-announced.aspx dead http://www.lpga.com/~/media/c167fc2500b946229e47b0f5c92679bc/rolexrankings3%2031%202014.pdf Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings March 31, 2014 April 11, 2014 April 13, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140413141547/http://www.lpga.com/~/media/c167fc2500b946229e47b0f5c92679bc/rolexrankings3%2031%202014.pdf dead Due to a world rankings error, the teams from Australia and Chinese Taipei switched seeds and pools.http://womensgolfreport.net/seedings-for-international-crown-revised/ Seedings for International Crown Revised Women's Golf Reporthttp://www.rolexrankings.com/en/rankings/2014-03-31/ Rolex Rankings as of 31 March 2014 Initial + Teams Pool Seed Rank Country A 1 32 B 2 33 B 3 131 A 4 230 A 5 236 B 6 318 A 7 351 B 8 360 Pool A Pool B+#1 United States Rank Player 3 Stacy Lewis 8 Paula Creamer 9 Lexi Thompson 12 Cristie Kerr+ #2 South Korea Rank Player 1 Inbee Park 6 Ryu So-yeon 11 Choi Na-yeon 15 In-Kyung Kim+#4 Thailand Rank Player 30 Pornanong Phatlum 34 Ariya Jutanugarn 80 Moriya Jutanugarn 86 Onnarin Sattayabanphot+ #3 Japan Rank Player 27 Mika Miyazato 31 Ai Miyazato 36 Rikako Morita 37 Sakura Yokomine+ #5 Spain Rank Player 19 Azahara Muñoz 23 Beatriz Recari 45 Carlota Ciganda 149 Belén Mozo+ #6 Sweden Rank Player 10 Anna Nordqvist 24 Caroline Hedwall 112 Pernilla Lindberg 172 Mikaela Parmlid+ #8 Australia Rank Player 5 Karrie Webb 110 Minjee Lee (a) 115 Katherine Kirk 130 Lindsey Wright+ #7 Chinese Taipei Rank Player 46 Yani Tseng 48 Teresa Lu 97 Candie Kung 160 Phoebe Yao Revised + Teams Pool Seed Rank Country A 1 32 B 2 33 B 3 131 A 4 230 A 5 239 B 6 321 A 7 323 B 8 357 Pool A Pool B+#1 United States Rank Player 3 Stacy Lewis 8 Paula Creamer 9 Lexi Thompson 12 Cristie Kerr+ #2 South Korea Rank Player 1 Inbee Park 6 Ryu So-yeon 11 Choi Na-yeon 15 In-Kyung Kim+#4 Thailand Rank Player 30 Pornanong Phatlum 32 Ariya Jutanugarn 81 Moriya Jutanugarn 87 Onnarin Sattayabanphot+ #3 Japan Rank Player 27 Mika Miyazato 31 Ai Miyazato 36 Rikako Morita 37 Sakura Yokomine+ #5 Spain Rank Player 19 Azahara Muñoz 23 Beatriz Recari 45 Carlota Ciganda 152 Belén Mozo+ #6 Sweden Rank Player 10 Anna Nordqvist 24 Caroline Hedwall 114 Pernilla Lindberg 173 Mikaela Parmlid+ #8 Chinese Taipei Rank Player 46 Yani Tseng 48 Teresa Lu 99 Candie Kung 164 Phoebe Yao+ #7 Australia Rank Player 5 Karrie Webb 78 Minjee Lee (a) 117 Katherine Kirk 123 Lindsey Wright Late changes: for Japan, Rikako Morita declined to play; Shiho Oyama (ranked 47), the first alternate, also declined to play; Mamiko Higa (ranked 50) finalized the Japanese team.http://www.lpga.com/golf/blogs/2014/7/team-japan-by-the-numbers.aspx By the Numbers: Team Japan LPGA July 3, 2014 Ward Clayton Results Day one pool play Thursday, July 24, 2014 Pool A United States vs. Chinese Taipei Match 7: Kung/Lu (TPE) defeated Creamer/Kerr (USA), 4 & 3 Match 8: Tseng/Yao (TPE) defeated Lewis/Thompson (USA), 1 up Thailand vs. Spain Match 1: Ciganda/Muñoz (ESP) defeated Phatlum/Sattayabanphot (THA), 3 & 2 Match 2: A.
