The LPGA makes a run for the border -- the northern border -- this week for the Manulife LPGA Classic in Ontario, Canada.
As traditional, Tony Jesselli has a preview of the event over at his web page, and you will need to test that to get the large photograph. You also can pick up a few exciting tidbits on this evaluation at LPGA.Com, which includes the truth that this could be Manulife's closing year as title sponsor.
Caroline Masson is the protecting champion -- her simplest LPGA victory, btw -- and no champion has efficaciously defended their identify right here. (Granted, this event has most effective been played 5 times formerly, so perhaps this is now not as sizeable as it sounds at the beginning.)
Also of notice, Lydia Ko is not gambling this week but Ariya Jutanugarn is -- this means that Ariya will almost really take over the number one spot within the Rolex Rankings this week. As maximum of , she became projected to accomplish that ultimate week, however the reputable statement approximately the mistake is -- in contrast to the rankings themselves -- pretty clean.
Basically, when the initial projections had been run, the incorrect date was used inside the calculations. Apparently the software program automatically used the date when the projection become run rather than the date they desired to test. As a result, remaining 12 months's Manulife points (which covered a T5 for Ariya) had been erroneously blanketed inside the projections. The mistakes turned into located when the reputable points listing was run Monday morning.
It may not be happening again. That computer virus goes to get squashed.
In the meantime, the ladies will set about the business of shuffling the rankings the old fashioned way -- by winning. It all gets underway on Thursday at 1:30pm ET.
