Inbee hasn't played super great lately, but keep in mind she did win the Doosan Match Play in Korea less than a month ago. And it is a LOT of work to win a match play event, with not much room for error.
The other thing to remember is that Inbee has played worse coming into a big event and won -- for instance, the Olympics, where she hadn't even had a top ten in months before her win.
You make a good point about Nasa, 18majors. Her last two wins on the JLPGA were back-to-back and when she finds form, she usually maintains it for at least a couple of weeks.
Level playing field with nobody in the field with tournament experience at Kemper Lakes and that'll suit her. Jin Young to just edge out Nasa, for me.
Do the LPGA still have the rule if a non LPGA player who finishes forty or better on the LPGA official money list. They are eligible to join the LPGA the next year. I was wondering if Jeong Eun6 Lee can win enough this year. I know she played the ANA, but I didn't see any official money posted for her.

You won't find LPGA stats for Lucky 6; because she isn't a member.
Her total earnings from ANA, Lotte and USWO is $128,561, good for No. 64.
In order to reach Top 40, she needs to pick up pace from KPMG, Ricoh Women's British Open and Evian.
I don't agree with his reasoning. Because if Nasa hadn't joined the LPGA the entire JLPGA team would be from the LPGA of Japan tour. Maybe if it was staged eight years ago almost the entire Korean team would have come from the KLPGA tour.
