The siege of the Tseng Dynasty resumes this week. Is the Empress geared up for battle?
That's the large query as the new LPGA season starts offevolved. As Tony Jesselli mentioned in his preview of the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open, numerous players -- inclusive of global #2 Na Yeon Choi -- may not be there. But #three Stacy Lewis is, and she or he's best approximately 1.7 points behind her. That can be without problems made up in a single match, and I suppose Stacy is the player maximum human beings count on to seize Yani.
If Yani is to be stuck, this is.
But Stacy isn't the simplest participant with the chops to catch her this 12 months. #6 So Yeon Ryu, whose praises I've been singing for the final yr or so, is inside the field this week and he or she's just a piece over three points in the back of Yani. While it would be satisfactory to look an American take the top spot for a change, I think Ryu has as top a hazard as Lewis to capture Yani.
If Yani is to be stuck, this is.
And Lydia Ko is in the area this week additionally. I realize the 15-12 months-antique is well over 6.Five points behind Yani, however she's won 3 seasoned events inside the remaining yr. (And the United States Women's Amateur, no small feat in itself.) Plus she's beat Lewis and Jiyai Shin at the same time as gambling with them in the final round at last 12 months's Women's Canadian Open. I think we need to recall the opportunity that the Kobra may want to put the bite at the Empress -- maybe even this 12 months.
So the LPGA's first event of the yr -- the primary round is on GC tomorrow from 12:30pm until 2:30pm ET -- certainly has its proportion of intrigue. Stacy Lewis, So Yeon Ryu, and Lydia Ko are all within the area, and I suppose they all have a first rate chance of catching Yani this yr...
If Yani is to be stuck, this is.
Lucky for us, the chase starts offevolved tomorrow.
