It's really starting to look that way. Although Suzann is backing up a bit on the Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship (as I'm penning this, she's 2 on the day after 10 holes), she's nevertheless three strokes in advance of her closest competitor.
More importantly, Inbee Park isn't always playing this week. That might also spell hassle for the modern-day Rolex #1.
You see, Suzann's been on a tear recently. She's were given as a minimum four wins global this season -- which include the newly-majorized Evian Championship -- and a load of Top10s. Since she overlooked the reduce on the US Women's Open, she's were given 7s straight Top7s at the LPGA on my own... And that includes 2 back-to-returned wins.
But it is the Rolex Rankings which fascinate me the maximum. As these days because the first week in July -- right after Suzann ignored her last cut -- Inbee Park had a 5.35 point lead (13.27 vs 9.Seventy two). In less than four months that lead has been trimmed to a mere .89 factors (eleven.98 vs eleven.09). If Suzann wins this week, she'll close that hole even greater.
And after this week there are 3 LPGA tournaments left. Neither Suzann nor Inbee will play the Mizuno Classic however each will play the Lorena Ochoa Invitational and the CME Group Titleholders. Depending on how matters pass, it's possible Suzann might take over the number 1 spot through the quit of the 12 months.
Apparently the pinnacle spots in the Rolex Rankings are more difficult to preserve than the pinnacle spots in the OWGR. We can most effective bet what may take place as soon as Lydia Ko joins the LPGA. But it certain like Suzann Pettersen can be the brand new Queen of the Hill when she does... And I'm now not so positive she'll be deposed as easily because the others.
