After 1978, the tournament relocated from California to New York and was played at the Locust Hill Country Club near Rochester from 1979 to 1981. In 1979, the tournament recognized the 1976–78 tournaments as its predecessors,[5] and not the Bankers Trust Classic which had been played at Locust Hill in 1977 and 1978. Today however the Wegmans LPGA recognizes the Bankers Trust Classics and not the first three Sarah Coventry events as part of the tournament's history.[6] The change gave Nancy Lopez three wins in the event, as she won the Bankers Trust Classic at Locust Hill in 1978.[7]
