Since the Limerick Summary is delayed an afternoon, Twofer Tuesday alternatives up the slack. But in preference to visit the RSM Classic -- at this factor (Sunday night) most of the occasion data I need isn't always posted but -- I'm headed for the final LPGA event of 2019.
As standard, the CME Group Tour Championship will be played in (optimistically) sunny Naples FL at the Tibur?N Golf Club. Lexi Thompson is the defending champion and, after a much less than stellar season, might be trying to duplicate last year's magic. She got here into that event in a very similar situation... And beaten it.
But I digress. Let's make more than one choices!
- My Top10er for the event is Nelly Korda. She's already won twice this season and is coming off one of those wins, at the Swinging Skirts event in Taiwan. I see no reason that she should slack off now, what with only one event to go and that one for a monster paycheck. I won't be surprised if she pulls off a win.
- But having said that, my winner is -- who else? -- Jin Young Ko. Three LPGA wins (two majors) plus a KLPGA win this season mark her as the one to beat. Granted, her WD from the Swinging Skirts event is a bit worrisome but she's had nearly three weeks to recover. She's been so smart about her game this year that I'm sure she stopped before the injury became too bad.
