Canadian golf legend Lorie Kane shoots for good time at final CP Women's Open

Satisfied with her range session, the right-handed Lorie Kane grabbed a wedge, turned around and hit a few balls from the left side.

She duffed one and shanked another. Then, after a quick regroup, she went at it again, finally making solid contact on a couple more.

With that, Kane exited range left to applause from a group of fans watching.

"Pardon the expression, but come hell or high water, I'm going to have fun," Kane said at a press conference on Wednesday.

Kane, the 57-year-old four-time LPGA Tour winner, is set to tee it up for her 30th and final CP Women's Open beginning Thursday at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club.

Much has changed since Kane made her professional debut at the 1991 Canadian championship — but one constant has been the Canadian's presence at her home tournament each and every year.

The Charlottetown native says she's not retiring from golf.

"I never wanted to come to this tournament feeling like I was taking up space. ... The next thing for me is to continue to grow the game, continue to work at making it more available to people across our country, to find another me in Atlantic Canada," Kane said.

Kane has no designs on seriously contending — she joked that she's lobbying the Tour to allow her to play the forward tees, though her competitive side still hopes to play into the weekend.

To that end, Kane will spend the tournament with family by her side. Her niece Charlotte is her caddie. And her seven-wood's headcover is an homage to her dad Jack, who died in July.
