I wager it shouldn't be a wonder however Lydia Ko is back on top of the leaderboard at the Swinging Skirts event. Of direction, she's the defending champion and he or she's already defended at one LPGA event, the Canadian Pacific Women's Open (she won in 2013 and 2014). However, she wasn't a seasoned then. Last 12 months's Swinging Skirts occasion was her first LPGA victory as a pro.
And after the first spherical she leads with the aid of one stroke. She shot a 67 (-five) on that difficult Lake Merced path in pretty cool climate.
In many methods the real a laugh issues what is happening at the back of her. For example, Juli Inkster is tied for second region proper behind her (she's from the Bay Area, so she's very comfortable at the course).
Stacy Lewis is within the organization at two shots lower back, and she has a danger to retake the #1 spot inside the Rolex Rankings if she will be able to get it together. (Inbee Park can as properly, but she's at 1 -- T43 -- so she's were given a few paintings to do.) And Morgan Pressel, who's been playing thoroughly over the previous couple of weeks and whose sport is properly-suited to the tight Lake Merced course, is also at -three with Lewis.
And that is most effective the end of the iceberg. The discipline is loaded with pinnacle-ranked gamers. Even Azahara Munoz is again after her hand surgical treatment; in spite of having hit complete photographs for simplest per week, she's at even par after her first spherical. So this could come to be a completely amusing match very fast.
BTW, nowadays Lydia turns 18. The relaxation of the sector better wish she would not determine to have a good time her birthday the way she did final year... That is why she's protecting!
Coverage is in prime time again on GC starting at 6pm ET.
