Meanwhile, Lydia Defends

While the men tee it up in Scotland, the LPGA heads returned to Ohio for the Marathon Classic... And you might be in a position to look at some of it even in case your predominant situation is the Open.

Lydia Ko with trophy

The Kobra is defending this week, which must be thrilling considering the fact that her recreation has seemed a piece off these days -- as a minimum, off compared to the manner she became gambling ultimate yr at the moment. (Yes, I know Lydia has 2 victories up to now this 12 months, however she has a ignored cut and best one Top10 on account that her last win back in April.)

So Yeon Ryu, who Lydia beat ultimate 12 months through a unmarried stroke, clipped Lydia by means of 2 strokes final week at the US Women's Open. She has no wins and best 3 Top10s this complete season, but all of those Top10s have been in her ultimate 5 events... And all had been Top5s. This rematch can be an excellent one.

Michelle Wie has withdrawn from the event -- understandable, in case you noticed her conflict thru the very last round closing week -- and some of the large names are also taking the week after a primary off. Still, the Top4 inside the Rolex Rankings are teeing it up this week so there is a great danger for a few fireworks.

Tony Jesselli has his everyday preview for the occasion here, which should get you up on the info quick.

And, as I mentioned earlier, you may be able to catch some of the LPGA today even if you're glued to the set watching the Open. GC's coverage runs from 2pm-4pm ET while ESPN's live coverage ends at 3pm ET (at which point I expect them to re-air some of the early coverage). So you may want to catch an hour of the LPGA either before or after the live Open coverage.

At least you have got alternatives.
