As the LPGA prepares for their first major of the yr -- the ANA Inspiration next week -- we (right here within the US, as a minimum) get another top time LPGA broadcast with the Kia Classic.
Tony Jesselli's weekly event preview is at this link. I'll simply remind you that the occasion is held in Carlsbad CA and the protecting champ is Mirim Lee. She's hoping to recapture closing year's magic, having now not cracked the Top20 seeing that.
Seven of the 8 beyond Kia champs could be inside the field this week. (2010 champ Hee Kyung Seo is the lacking one.) Kia does tend to pull a robust subject as many players are getting ready for the ANA subsequent week. Inbee Park is also within the subject -- she's by no means gained however she has multiple runner-up finishes.
After last week's performance I wouldn't bet towards her.
Beyond that, the number 1 spot within the Rolex is up for grabs once more. Shanshan Feng leads Lexi Thompson by way of a trifling .21 factors, with So Yeon Ryu .Five again and Sung Hyun Park every other .2 behind her. We may want to see a shake-up this week.
GC's coverage is tape-delayed at 8:30pm ET Thursday and Friday night , but goes live at 7pm ET on Saturday and Sunday. And I'll say it again: The ANA comes up next week, so this should be a very competitive event.
