After two weeks in Australia, the LPGA movements to Thailand for the Honda LPGA Thailand. And all over again we're going to get to observe an LPGA occasion in top time, beginning on Wednesday night time.
Tony Jesselli's preview of the event is at this hyperlink. I'll just mention that the occasion is played at Siam Country Club's Pattaya Old Course and the protecting champion is Jessica Korda, who quite a great deal blitzed the field with a four-shot victory. With Jess's sister Nelly triumphing this past week, it ought to be an extraordinary vibe for the Korda sisters because Jess has had to withdraw from the event due to a forearm harm. (She's additionally opted out of the HSBC Singapore for the equal purpose, and hopes to be returned in March at the Bank of Hope Founders Cup in Arizona.)
There are simplest 70 gamers at this occasion but Tony says this is nevertheless the strongest area of the year up to now through a big margin. Amy Yang is the handiest -time winner inside the field, and her wins came in 2015 and 2017. Might want to offer her a look if you're gambling fantasy golfing this week. ;-)
The different past winners in the discipline are Anna Nordqvist (2014) and Lexi Thompson (2016) so, regardless of Jess out, you have nonetheless were given 4 of the last five winners gambling this week.
Personally, I'd hold my eye on Moriya Jutanugarn this week. Her ultimate two times at this occasion have resulted in seventh and T2 finishes, and she or he's coming off a T15 at the Australian Open, plus a T4 at the Diamond Resorts earlier this yr.
GC's live coverage of the Honda LPGA Thailand stars February 20 (Wednesday) at 11pm ET. (I suspect that's live coverage.)
And, in case you're interested, the United States Ryder Cup captain might be named Wednesday morning at 9am ET. Probably going to be Steve Stricker, but it's whilst we're going to discover for positive.
