After a week off -- it is smart now not to compete with the Masters, don't you suspect? -- the LPGA takes their talents to Southwest Beach...
The southwest seashore of Oahu, that is. Welcome to the LOTTE Championship.
This is wherein Michelle Wie were given her awesome run underway last 12 months and wherein she hopes to get things going once more. Ko Olina is Michelle's domestic route, and her victory there last 12 months turned into her first win within the USA. But she's been fighting various illnesses and accidents this year, so she's absolutely in want of a few "domestic cooking" to kickstart her stretch to her US Women's Open defense.
Here's the hyperlink to Tony Jesselli's preview of the occasion. Perhaps the maximum thrilling component he mentions is that, many of the Top3 inside the Rolex Rankings, most effective Inbee Park is playing. Inbee is now in 0.33 vicinity yet is much less than one point behind Ko, which ought to suggest that she will take over the #1 spot with a win this week. That ought to supply the event a piece of exhilaration no matter the variety of pinnacle players taking the week off.
Best of all, this event runs from Wednesday to Saturday -- which I believe is a concession to the preferred TV broadcast days in Asia -- and it will be in primetime here in the States, as there is a 5-hour time difference between Hawaii and the East Coast. GC plans to start broadcasting each night at 7pm ET , so PGA Tour coverage won't interfere.
