The LPGA remains in Australia, this means that the USA gets stay golfing in high time once more.
The ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open is the 1/3 event of the LPGA season, and Jin Young Ko -- the 2018 LPGA Rookie of the Year -- is the defending champion.
Tony Jesselli, in his preview of the occasion, notes that this is one of the weaker fields of the yr although 20 of the Top50 inside the Rolex Rankings might be teeing it up. It seems to me that some of the higher-ranked US gamers are skipping the event, as they did last week's. This may additionally just be a characteristic of having greater match choices now, and the 15-plus hour time trade may have turn out to be a bigger attention for them.
At any fee, some of popular US players will be part of the field and should have a risk to improve their scores as a end result. For one, I'm seeking out Alison Lee to have an amazing week.
Don't be misled into believing that this won't be a terrific event, however. It's nonetheless got a number of firepower in it, starting with Ariya Jutanugarn, and we have to get a definitely proper show from the gals.
GC's coverage of the event starts tonight (Wednesday) at 9pm ET. I'm really looking forward to it!
