The Walmart NW Arkansas Championship has drawn a robust discipline as gamers prepare for subsequent week's major, the KPMG Women's PGA Championship. And defending champ So Yeon Ryu comes into the event with some severe momentum after winning last week at the Meijer LPGA Classic.
As common, Tony Jesselli has a preview of the event at his weblog. He notes that this is the 0.33 strongest non-most important event of the year -- understandable, as this is the 1/3 occasion preceding a main this yr!
While the sector could be very robust and there are lots of players with essential storylines this week -- which includes Stacy Lewis trying to grasp a "domestic game" before leaving on maternity depart, and fellow Razorback Gaby Lopez hoping to grab her first win here (as Lewis did nearly a decade ago) -- it seems to me that So Yeon Ryu is the real tale right here. Her play has been a piece choppy this yr, and there are reviews that she's been very pissed off.
But after last week's win, and with the KPMG arising next week, So Yeon may want to find herself with an Ariya Jutanugarn-like season if she may want to control to win this week. After all, two wins leading into a main...? Last week's win wouldn't have tired her the manner, say, Brooks Koepka's most important win did ultimate week -- the ladies certainly do not draw the equal media attention because the guys, and the Meijer is not a main (despite the fact that it can have felt like one to So Yeon). A little advantageous adrenaline after sooner or later breaking via this season might be simply what she needs.
So I'm looking ahead to peer how she performs this week. This is most effective a 3-day event, so it is unlikely to tire her an excessive amount of. And whether she wins or now not, a strong performance could positioned her inside the right frame of thoughts to pick out up her third primary next week.
GC's broadcast starts tonight, and runs from 6:30-8:30pm.
