Even as I recover from the surprise of seeing all four of my Final Four choices strengthen from the primary spherical at the Accenture Match Play, the LPGA tees it up in Thailand at the Honda LPGA Thailand.
And sure, #1 Inbee Park, #2 Suzann Pettersen, #3 Stacy Lewis, and #4 Lydia Ko are all inside the field. Park, Pettersen, and Lewis are all playing together the primary days.
In reality, in line with Tony Jesselli's preview of the occasion, 17 of the Top20 are inside the discipline. (That's why I say the LPGA season starts in earnest nowadays.) And the Constructivist has a listing of the extra thrilling pairings for the primary two days.
At the time I'm writing this on Wednesday night, the tournament has already begun but the big names haven't teed off yet. However, the leaders are currently at -3 and Lexi Thompson is one of them -- after only 2 holes! Lexi has gotten off to a slow start this year but perhaps this is the week she'll kick it into gear. Danielle Kang and Anna Nordqvist also have a share of the early lead, and both Gerina Pillar and Yani Tseng are in the group at -2.
The LPGA broadcast starts today at 9am ET on GC, followed by the Accenture and another chance for my choices to blow my brackets.
