Yani Tseng performed along Lydia in the first and 2d rounds. Yani began her 12 months with a promising -5 in her first spherical.
Lydia countered with a -10 in a spherical that protected 3 bogeys.
As I write this Yani and Lydia are properly into their second spherical (they have got completed sixty five holes). Yani is currently -6 and Lydia is -14.
In Wednesday's publish approximately the viable contenders for Yani's throne this yr, I noted Lydia, Stacy Lewis, and So Yeon Ryu as my maximum in all likelihood challengers. Stacy sits at -three after 2 rounds and So Yeon is -1 after 1 spherical (she hasn't started her second spherical but). Both can be a piece rusty; in fact, Stacy said that she hadn't performed in 2 months. (I count on she intended competitive rounds, no longer practice rounds.)
But I'll tell you who isn't rusty. Jiyai Shin is at -14 after 2 rounds and Mariajo Uribe is at -15 after 16 holes in her second round. (So Uribe is leading at the time of this writing.)
And Jiyai is #eight inside the global scores, about 3.6 factors in the back of Yani. I guess I'll must upload her to my listing.
I realize it's early within the 12 months however it is not searching so proper for Yani proper now.
The images of (so as) Lydia Ko, Mariajo Uribe, and Jiyai Shin got here from participant pages on the LPGA.Com website.
