Cristie Kerr will be with a new caddie for the second straight event at this week's ShopRite LPGA Classic after parting ways Jason Gilroyd earlier this month.

A replacement at the Sybase Match Play Championship "didn't really work out" and means the world number five will be working with yet another bagman on the Bay Course in New Jersey.

Kerr admitted she "had been struggling with some caddie issues" and explained how it can be hard to gel with someone on course.

"I like to be part of a team," she said. "You need them to obviously get the information correct and judge conditions and to know your game. Ultimately, caddying comes down to club selection and the greens."

Brittany Lincicome returns to Galloway to defend the title she won here last year, when she edged Kerr and Jiyai Shin of South Korea in the final round.

The three-round golf tournament features 21 of the top-25 players in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings, including each of this season's LPGA Tour winners.

Yani Tseng, Ai Miyzatao, Stacy Lewis, Sun Young Yoo, Angela Stanford, Jessica Korda, Pornanong Phatlum and Azahara Munoz all line up on the Bay Course at the Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club.
