The LPGA is in Thailand this week, this means that East Coast coverage right here inside the US does not begin until 1am ET tonight. (I understand, technically it truly is Thursday morning, but since it starts around the time I'll be heading off to mattress I call it night.)
I think it is secure to mention that the large information this week is Inbee Park's go back to movement. But allow's communicate match information, shall we?
The occasion is the Honda LPGA Thailand, a good way to be performed on the Pattaya Old Course on the Siam Country Club in Chonburi, Thailand. This is the tenth yr the event has been performed and its eighth time at this direction.
This is a constrained-field occasion with handiest 70 players. (Haru Nomura qualified on the remaining minute together with her win in Australia final week.) According to Tony Jesselli's preview, this is a top-heavy occasion with forty two of the Rolex Top50, along with protecting champ Amy Yang (currently #12) and Inbee Park (#2).
And, as I stated earlier, Park is probably the main story this week. She has played simplest one spherical this yr, having withdrawn from the Bahamas tournament with a back trouble. Presumably she's feeling ok or she wouldn't tee it up. But she has fallen farther in the back of Lydia Ko with every passing week and is truly feeling some pressure to get lower back in the game.
While almost anybody could be a fave in a discipline this small with this stage of firepower, I still like HaNa Jang's probabilities to get her 2d win of the season. According to Tony, simplest HaNa and Haru have been in the Top15 of all 3 events this season... However I checked and best HaNa has Top5 finishes (a win and a T4). So she's my select for the week.
As I said earlier, GC's coverage starts at 1am ET tonight . I'll probably fall sleep with the TV on again...
