The LPGA is in Scotland this week, at the identical venue the men played more than one weeks in the past, for the Aberdeen Asset Management Ladies Scottish Open.
As standard, you may get a good preview of the event at Tony Jesselli's weblog. I'll simply observe that they're teeing it up at Gullane Golf Club, the same as the guys did, most effective they may be playing it at 6480 yards.
This is simplest the second one playing of the event but Aberdeen's sponsorship has already given it a positive amount of stature, for the reason that it's held the week earlier than the Ricoh Women's British Open -- the identical state of affairs because the men's occasion, which precedes the Open Championship -- at the equal course. At this point it hasn't come to be pretty the nice and cozy-up that the men's version has, but I suspect in time that it's going to. There just aren't that many chances for the women to paintings on their hyperlinks play, particularly the week earlier than their Open.
Of path the biggest news up to now is Lexi Thompson's declaration that she's skipping this event, the Ricoh and possibly others to "work on herself" after a mainly attempting 18 months. We'll simply must be patient what she does, but it does upload to the big names skipping this occasion -- despite the fact that there will be plenty who WILL be there.
Personally, I'm anxious to peer how Laura Davies does after her dominating victory on the Senior Women's US Open.
