Yes, the LPGA's LOTTE Championship begins nowadays instead of Thursday, giving the ladies a leap on the PGA Tour and some other man thinking about match golfing this week. Best of all, it's live prime time coverage!
The LOTTE is performed in Hawaii, on the island of Oahu, at the Ko Olina Golf Club in Kapolei. It's one of the more recent tournaments born from Mike Whan's efforts, a mere two years antique. Ai Miyazato received in 2012 and Suzann Pettersen remaining yr... However Ai isn't playing nicely yet this year and Suzann is still sitting out because of damage.
Tony Jesselli has a preview up at his weblog, whole with a listing of the primary players now not within the discipline this week. Of this yr's winners most effective Paula Creamer and Anna Nordqvist are playing, potentially commencing the door for a person new to sign up for the ranks.
For the document, I like Michelle Wie's probabilities this week. (Tony and I agree in this one.) She's coming off a runner-up end on the KNC and has finished no worse than T16 in any of her 6 events this 12 months. I suppose she's due. And despite the fact that she hasn't performed nicely right here both of the remaining two years, the shorter Ko Olina direction may additionally play into the more "conservative" approach she's been the use of in 2014.
The first round of the LOTTE Championship broadcasts tonight on GC from 6:30pm-10:30pm ET .
