The LPGA returns to action this week at the CP Women's Open, aka the Women's Canadian Open.
Last year Brooke Henderson have become best the second Canadian to win this occasion. (The different turned into Jocelyne Bourassa way again in 1973, the first year this event changed into played.) You have to also be conscious that from 1979 to 2000 this event changed into a prime, the du Maurier Classic, so this event has a tremendous quantity of records behind it.
Tony Jesselli's preview of the tournament notes that the sphere is lots stronger this 12 months than ultimate 12 months, with 37 of the Rolex Top50 teeing it up.
Also of interest for Americans like me -- this is the last week for the Americans to qualify for the Solheim Cup. Captain Julie Inkster is playing as properly however she can be a piece distracted due to the fact, at the quit of the occasion, she'll ought to make her Captain's alternatives to go along with the 10 computerized qualifiers. That way that the entire American group could be set via next Monday.
Captain Catriona Matthew fleshed out her team a bit over a week ago. She had 8 computerized qualifiers and four Captain's picks, to allow for the problem of car qualifiers coming from two distinct lists.
We get live LPGA golf again this week, only this time it's in the morning. GC's coverage begins Thursday at 9:30am ET. Should be interesting, especially with Solheim Cup pressure potentially affecting the Americans' play.
