So Much Golf at the Same Time

With the Scottish Open, Women's British Open, and John Deere Classic all beginning today, there's a ridiculous quantity of golf to hold up with this week. (And that does not even encompass the Utah Championship at the Web.Com Tour.)

But I'm maximum interested to see the ladies play, in reality due to the fact their tour is wherein the movement is recently. So I'll awareness on them in today's put up.

Cute picture, huh? According to LPGA.Com, you could see (from left to right) the "newly-Damed" Laura Davies, Paula Creamer, Lydia Ko, Michelle Wie, Charlie Hull, and Rikako Morita.

Here's some belongings you might be interested in as you prepare to watch:

As usual, Tony Jesselli has a Women's British Open preview.

LPGA.Com has created an thrilling hollow-through-hollow breakdown of Royal Birkdale that could help wherein the most important motion is in all likelihood to show up.

Several of the "massive names" were given the early-late draw so we're going to probably see handiest their quality pictures whilst ESPN2's insurance starts. Karrie Webb, Lexi Thompson, Stacy Lewis, and Michelle Wie are among those early risers, together with kids like Holly Clyburn, Stephanie Meadow, and Charley Hull.

Inbee Park, Suzann Pettersen, Lydia Ko, Paula Creamer, and Jessica Korda are some of the massive names who might be in the broadcast window today.

As some distance as the Rolex Rankings move, most effective Stacy Lewis (the cutting-edge #1) and Lydia Ko (the modern-day #2) can go away Royal Birkdale because the top dog this week. Again, according to LPGA.Com:

• Stacy Lewis will remain the Rolex Rankings No. 1 player if she finishes in a 3-way tie for 2nd-or-better at the RICOH Women’s British Open.
• If Lydia Ko wins this week, she will take over the No. 1 ranking as long as Stacy finishes in a 4-way tie for 2nd or worse.

The weather is expected to be a bit harsh, the rough is thick and lush, and the fairways are narrow, so most of the talk on Wednesday was that even par may have a good chance to win this week. (But we always hear that kind of talk before the Opens, don't we? Unless something really bad blows in, I'm betting we'll see -8.)

All 4 rounds of the RICOH Women's British Open will be broadcast on ESPN2. Today's broadcast is from 9am-noon ET .
